Anytime you have unprotected sex, there is a risk of pregnancy. If your boyfriend did not ejaculate anywhere inside, near, on, beside your vagina, then your chances of pregnancy are extremely low-to-none. It takes a male's sperm (from ejaculation) to be in contact with a woman's vagina for a pregnancy to occur during sex, and if you are positive that this did not occur, the chances of pregnancy would be almost non-existent. There are small risks that sperm can be pushed out of a man's penis when is penis first becomes erect (the liquid that comes out during erection is known as "pre-cum" or pre-ejaculatory fluid), but this is also unlikely in most circumstances. There are just no guarantees that anyone can provide to you, and is the reason unprotected sex causes so much tension and worry--it's a waiting game until your period starts, unfortunately. If you have unprotected sex again, or have birth control failure, it is important to get to the pharmacy and ask for emergency contraception before 72 hours has passed (the sooner, the more effective).
The pull-out method, for future reference, is not a reliable form of birth control for most couples, but has been practiced successfully by couples for many years who are intentionally using this method. I can explain this more in-depth if you are curious about the pull-out method, but sounds like you may be more interested in using condoms or other birth control?
