Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Based on the information provided it is difficult to say whether she is pregnant or not.

As a drop of pre ejaculate is enough to make pregnant, hence I advice you to consider one or the other method of contraception if you don't want to get pregnant. It is better to be cautious.
As you have mentioned that, you have pulled out, there are chances of pre ejaculations, that may occur. But post coital pills are highly effective if taken within 72 hours and based on that the chances of her being pregnant if less.

One of the earliest and simplest way to know that you are pregnant or not, is by using, urine pregnancy test.

It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful

Hello, if she has taken the pills within 72hrs of the act there are less chances of her getting pregnant. And also withdrawal method is not 100% sure because before actual ejaculation, there is pre ejaculate fluid which is secreted for decreasing friction which sometimes may contain some sperms which if reach inside can cause pregnancy. So you can try other methods like condom which has more surety than withdrawal method.
