How likely is it to get pregnant with non-penetrative exposure to pre-ejaculate?

I'm nineteen years old and a virgin. I've taken health class and I know the basics of how pregnancy happens. I don t consider myself completely uneducated about pregnancy. However, I know that there is a small chance that exposure to pre-*** in the vaginal area may result in pregnancy. We rubbed genitals (him nude, me with underwear) six days ago, and some of the pre-ejaculate seeped through my underwear, is it possible to get pregnant from this kind of activity, and, if so, how likely is it that I may be pregnant? I had only been done with my period for 3 days when the sexual activity occurred and my period app figures that I did not ovulate until today. I m not due for my period for another two weeks and I d like to know if I should bother buying a pregnancy test.

And, if I suspect I may be feeling symptoms of early pregnancy, could it just be psychosomatic and/or the pain of standard ovulation? I'm having some lower abdominal discomfort, gas, and frequent (I think?) urination but it's only been six days since the sexual contact and one or two days since ovulating, so I feel I might just be making it up in my nervous little head.

Sperm doesn't die when it reaches the air,  and that's why fertility clinics can test a man's sperm for motility  after they ejaculate into a cup,  and the cup is brought  to the lab for testing in a cup within a paper bag.    This is in doctor's offices that are 68-72 degrees,  and the sperm sample is collected in a restroom in a cup.  

On the other hand,  sperm don't swim through clothing.  Sperm require semen to swim in,  and can't pass through clothing without a sperm "lake".  

So no.  If you were wearing underwear,  you won't be at risk for pregnancy.

I wouldn't bother buying a test. He has to ejaculate inside you to get you pregnant.

You have nothing to worry about, it dies when it reaches the air.
It's a lot harder to get pregnant than you think.
Pre ejaculating would be very unlikely to get someone pregnant!

The chances are very low because *** is known to die with air.
