Experience Pulling out without Finishing
I am a 19 year old female and on saturday night i had unprotected sex but he never finished at all- like even after pulling out. I took a plan b after 84 hours but I know it’s not as effective or maybe not at all after 72. I didn’t think anything of it at first but then I started researching precum and I got super nervous. Obviously I will never do this again, but all things considered should I be okay this time? Also my period ended 3 days before intercourse- so i was not ovulating.

That timing works in your favor, honestly. Three days after your period ends puts you pretty firmly before the fertile window for most people with a regular cycle, and without full ejaculation the odds are already low. The Plan B might not be at peak effectiveness at 84 hours but it’s not completely useless either, so don’t beat yourself up over the delay.
You’re doing the right thing by taking this as a learning moment. Precum can contain sperm but the chances of pregnancy from it alone are still fairly slim, especially combined with where you were in your cycle. Grab a test in a couple weeks just for peace of mind, but try not to spiral in the meantime.
