Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern.
Time may have been on your side. If the semen had dried by the time your girlfriend put her underwear back on, then any sperm was dead and there was no risk for her to become pregnant.
Sperm can live outside the body for about 20 minutes. Once semen has dried, all sperm has died.
Did you tell her what you had done? If so, there was a chance she put those to be washed and took a clear pair.
A second important factor was where she was in her menstrual cycle. If she was nowhere near ovulating, there was no released egg to fertilize. Thus no way to become pregnant.
I do hope this is helpful and calms your fear,
