I'm sorry that you are worried, but hopefully this situation will help you and your boyfriend communicate more about all of the available contraceptive choices you both have?!
From what you describe, the chances of you becoming pregnant in this way are very slim. If there was no sperm near your vagina, then it is helpful for you to know that sperm can not live very long outside of the body (mere minutes), so the chance of it getting into your vagina is small.
Have you and your partner discussed options for contraception, including "barrier methods (ie, condoms), to protect against STIs (sexually transmitted infections), as pregnancy is not the only thing to be concerned about.
Hormonal contraception (ie, birth control pills and other forms, like "the ring") can help protect against pregnancy . I am not sure if you are having intercourse, but since you are sexually active, now is a good time to find a doctor you trust.
