When he did ejaculate, it was on my stomache.I waited like five minutes to take a shower, and the semen dried, but I'm worried the water from the shower could have washed it into my vagina.... I'm really worried there's a chance of pregnancy... I feel so stupid...

 "Contrary to a somewhat popular belief, precum can contain sperm cells"
Yes but only if there is sperm in the urethra already from a recent previous ejaculation without urinating afterwards.
"there is a also a possibility that a woman spontaneously ovulates outside of her normal ovulation time because of sexual pleasure."
Where is this information from? I've never heard it and just spent some time looking and found nothing. In cows it sort of happens, but nothing in humans.

First of all, don't panic! Breathe, and read on.Understanding how semen works can help you answer your question. Once it's been expelled, a spermatozoid cannot survive very long in the "outside world" as it is quite hostile for a poor little cell. However, spermatozoids can live up to 5-7 days in a woman's vagina (even though they usually die after 2 days). Contrary to a somewhat popular belief, precum can contain sperm cells, and there is a also a possibility that a woman spontaneously ovulates outside of her normal ovulation time because of sexual pleasure. Normally, you can't get pregnant during or immediately after your period because your endometer isn't thick enough, but since a sperm cell can live up to 7 days, your endometer could have to to build up again.So, in short, if there were sperm cells in his precum, and if you spontaneously ovulated, and if you landed a particulary long-lived spermatozoid, you might be pregnant, but the probablity does seem rather small!That chance does exist, however, so to let your mind at ease you should really get a pregnancy test, unless you're willing to wait a whole month to see if you have your period again. The best way to avoid having to fret over that kind of issue is of course to use protection, such as the pill, condoms, etc. There's also the morning after pill, which can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex.Good luck, and don't worry too much :)

"There IS some sperm in pre cum which is why the pull out method is not always effective."
There isn't unless there was already sperm in the urethra. There have been a lot of studies into this. If the man has ejaculated recently there is sperm still in the urethra and the pre-cum picks it up on the way out. The purpose of pre-cum is that sperm requires a very basic fluid to survive in, so the pre-cum primes the urethra for the sperm/semen but does not actually have anything to do with the testes. It just makes it so that the first sperm to come out during ejaculation aren't immediately killed by the slightly acidic environment in the urethra.
The pull out method is ineffective because if the guy doesn't pull out in time, he can ejaculate a small amount without actually having a full orgasm, or he could have masturbated too soon before sex. There are careful people who use the pull out method without incident for years. But the pre-cum itself does not contain sperm unless there was already sperm there. Just find out from your boyfriend if he masturbated before you had sex and if so, take plan B or Ella.

 i agree that the likeliness is small. But, girl, aside from the stress of not knowing whether you've impregnated yourself, that doesn't sound like a pleasant sexual experience for either partner in general! I think Most guys (and girls) like being in all the way and even ejaculating inside, so best bet from here on out is to at least get yourself some condoms. most college campuses have free ones, if not, planned parenthoods usually have a jar.

 You will get to know that soon, when you have your period again.

OK first thing, RELAX. You are not going to get pregnant. Water kills sperm pretty much immediately, so does air. The second the semen is dry, the sperm die. If they if they somehow magically survived the air, the water would kill them. Sperm are very fragile things.
Pre-cum itself does not contain sperm. Unless he masturbated right before having sex, there was no sperm. Urinating will rinse them all out/kill them. So if he's peed since last ejaculating, there are no sperm present. So just ask him. If it turns out he did ejaculate within a few hours of having sex and also didn't pee, you can take plan B or Ella.
Secondly, get yourself on a more reliable form of contraception. The pill, shot, IUD, whatever, or use condoms. Take a deep breath, you will be fine.

Yes, you can get pregnant because his pre-cum will be in you and that has sperm in it (from when he went in, even if not all the way)
Best thing is to get on the pill, or use condoms.
