You should be using protection firstly. Secondly, Pre-ejaculate fluid in itself does not contain sperm. If a male has had a recent ejaculation, sperm can be picked up in the urethra (the tube which urine and semen pass through), but once he would urinate, the sperm would be flushed out. While it's not impossible, it's very unlikely to get pregnant from pre-ejaculate.
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. If she doesn't get her next period within a week or so of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended. It can cause her period to be early or late, have a lighter or a heavier flow. ECP not to be used as a regular birth control method but in emergencies only, like condom failure for example.
