Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us with your question.
Your vagina is inside of your body. If he inserted his penis into your vagina and ejaculated or released semen, which contains sperm, and this happened close to when you were ovulating, then there was a risk for becoming pregnant.
Pre ejaculate fluid itself does not contain sperm. If he had a recent ejaculation, like from masturbating, then some sperm could remain in his urethra. The urethra is the tube through which both semen and urine pass. Once he urinated, any sperm was flushed out.
In your case, it sounds like he ejaculated outside of your body and you washed away any semen as soon as possible. So, I do not think you were at risk for becoming pregnant.
