Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about possibly being pregnant.
As you know, pre ejaculate fluid does not in itself contain sperm. There may be sperm left in the male's urethra from a recent ejaculation. This is flushed out when he urinates.
So, in your case, without penetration and ejaculation of semen, there was no risk for pregnancy and no need to take the emergency contraceptive.
Common side effects of ellaOne are:
nausea, abdominal (stomach) pain or discomfort, vomiting
painful periods, pelvic pain, breast tenderness
headache, dizziness, mood swings
muscle pain, back pain, tiredness
