Don't want to get pregnant

[rosylbd]

Hi! I'm kind of new at this, so it's kind of embarrassing to ask but I really need some help. Last week, 1 day before my fertile window started I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, but it was not "complete". We had penis/vaginal contact but he eyaculated outside my vagina. There's some liquid that comes first out of the penis that I'm not sure if that was inside me. Is it possible to get pregnant by doing this??
I've been feeling like I'll get my period, I mean the sensation, the kind of cramps and some facial acne. But as I said I'm in my "fertile window" my next period should be in 1-2 more weeks.
Also I've been eating a lot, a lot! more than usual!! Is this normal??
Thank you for your help!

Thank you! I know it's not a safe method to avoid pregnancy, we did it "in a rush" but still I hope it won't happen again this way.
It's 10 more days for my period to start again, I'll let you know if I'm on time.
Thank you again!

Symptoms don't indicate pregnancy, in the early stages.  They can, but they can also indicate a period coming.  It has only been a week, which is way too early for things like acne and eating to indicate anything.  The cramps might just be you ovulating.  An embryo (if an embryo gets created) floats around, and doesn't even shed its shell for the first five days.  It can take up to ten days to implant, and until it does, hCG does not go into your system.  The first ten days after conception, a woman's body has no idea if there even is an embryo, any symptoms she has are not caused by the embryo.  

Regarding the pre-ejaculatory fluid from the Cowper's Gland, it does not contain sperm by itself.  If there is sperm in the guy's urethra already, the fluid can carry it forward into the woman.  To get sperm there in the first place, he would have to have ejaculated relatively recently before you had sex.

You had unprotected sex one day before your fertile window.  If you don't want to get pregnant, why did you have unprotected sex right before you might ovulate?  Being together with naked genitals and putting them in and out, will sooner or later cause a pregnancy -- people are simply not that in control at such moments.  Sperm, if it gets into your reproductive tract, can live 5 or 6 days.  Having unprotected sex right before you might ovulate is therefore a dandy time to have unprotected sex if you are trying to get pregnant but a lousy time for sex if you are trying to avoid pregnancy.

I really hope you are not thinking that having unprotected sex (with pulling out) will avoid pregnancy.  That is not a workable way to keep from getting pregs, as any number of pregnant women can tell you.  Get on the pill, or get an IUD, and insist your partners use condoms.  They are getting sex, they will wear a condom.  Take care, and good luck.
