Risk of Pregnancy
Can I get pregnant if I have unprotected sex but the man does not ejaculate (cum)?
            It’s probably very unlikely that you will get pregnant, but
            you can’t know for certain. Three
            small studies found no motile sperm (sperm capable of reaching/fertilizing
            an egg) in the fluid in a man’s penis before he ejaculates.
            However, a more recent study found that 41% of subjects  produced pre-ejaculatory samples that contained spermatozoa and in 37% a  reasonable proportion of the sperm were motile. 
So there’s no harm in using emergency
            contraceptive pills (also called "morning
            after pills" or "day after pills") to put your
            mind at ease if you are not sure if your partner ejaculated or you
            are worried because you had sex without using contraception or your
            birth control failed. Remember that emergency
            contraception can’t protect you against sexually transmitted
            infections, like HIV, which has been found in pre-ejaculatory fluid.
            If there is even the slightest chance that you might be at risk for
            sexually transmitted infections, be sure to use a condom.

            science literature on emergency contraception, click
