Pre-ejaculate itself does not contain any sperm. Sperm may be inside the urethra if a man ejaculated recently and did not urinate since. If he urinated since he last ejaculated, there is no sperm at all. Pregnancy is very uncommon from pre-ejaculate and the urethra would have to contain sperm at the same time. A woman would also have to be ovulating and engage in unprotected intercourse with ejaculation.
There was likely no need for you to take EC, given when in the month you had this sexual encounter and the fact that there was no known ejaculation - but the side effects are very varied, from bleeding (or not) to discharge to breast pain, belly pain and head pain. Your next period may be early/late/on time. Plan B's website can let you know more.
