Is there a risk of pregnancy from unprotected vaginal intercourse without ejaculation, and is the use of emergency contraception recommended in this scenario?
Yes, there is still a small risk of pregnancy even without ejaculation, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can sometimes contain sperm. To give you peace of mind, using emergency contraception is recommended if you wish to prevent pregnancy. Highly effective generic options like levonorgestrel (best within 72 hours) or ulipristal acetate (effective up to 120 hours) are widely available. These work best the sooner they are taken. You are taking the right steps by asking, and a local pharmacist or clinic can quickly help you choose the best option for your situation.
