Hi,
If you have been taking the pill for a week consistently and correctly (which you said you have been..great!), then your pill is at its highest effectiveness rate at 99% protection against pregnancy.
It is highly, highly unlikely that you would be pregnant. I can not say that you are 100% "safe", as nothing is except for abstinence...but you are pretty close. You are using birth control for a week, and your partner literally was inside you for seconds. Pre-cum may/may not contain sperm, and it is unlikely that even if there were a few trace amounts of semen-containing-sperm, that it would cause a pregnancy.
I am confident that you should not even bother going to the clinic to get emergency contraception (and, believe me...I err on the side of caution, and I am not suggesting that you even use EC. It does not sound like it would be beneficial in your case).
Since you do not know me, and I do not know you...if you are still at all concerned, please make a quick call to your doctor's office and ask your nurse. I believe they would say the same thing that you do not need to use EC if you have been taking the pill consistently and correctly for a week, and penetration ended in withdrawal within seconds (please know: some women think it is only a few seconds when it is longer, but your story sounded like it really was just a few seconds).

I hope this helps!
