Hi,
Anytime you have unprotected sex, there is a risk of pregnancy. If you used the withdrawal method (pulling out before ejaculating), that is a form of birth control that is not very effective, but better than nothing! The withdrawal method is typically around 70-80% effective at preventing pregnancy. (This compares to condoms at up to 98% effectiveness, and birth control pills at 99%).

Women do not become pregnant every time they have unprotected sex, but the more frequently they have unprotected sex, the higher the chances they can become pregnant---it's basically statistics. In any one given month, there is "only" a 20% chance of pregnancy (due to the fact that a woman ovulates on a particular day, then the egg is only viable for 24 hours). So...24 hours every month, a woman is fertile. HOWEVER...you do not know when this time is, and sperm can live inside a woman for 3-5 days, hence the statistical probability of pregnancy possibly occurring; possibly not.

Confused? For your specific situation, if you pulled out without any ejaculatory fluid entering inside your girlfriend, the withdrawal method is about 70-80% effective. If some ejaculatory fluid did enter into your girlfriend's vagina, the pregnancy risk is increased.

The stuff you saw hanging out of her vagina may have been her own vaginal secretions, or could have been your semen.

You two will need to wait until your girlfriend's period begins, or if it is late, she can take a home pregnancy test. The likelihood of her being pregnant if this is the first-ever time of sex is not high, but always possible without protection. Please use a condom anytime your penis becomes erect when you are making out with your girlfriend, so you two can be physically intimate without all of this worry and sleepless nights! It's so easy to use a condom, and much better than the alternative, right?!

Do you know when your girlfriend is expecting her next period? When was her last period?
