 Hi, it may take a couple of days before the egg is fertilized and implanted into the uterus. Only when the egg is firmly attached to the uterus do the hormones that a test detects start being produced. You still have time fir emergency contraception but you have to take like NOW.
There's an entertaining and educational video from planned parenthood. I can't post the link because I'm using my phone to read and respond here.
In the search box at the upper right hand corner, type in 'video' and 'bomb'. The first result will have an answer by me that has the link to the video. Alternatively, you can read back through my answers to find it that way. Click on my name or picture to get to my column. I usually post on unprotected sex questions.
Hope this helps. You have to move NOW if you think you could be fertile and don't want to get pregnant.

 Go to the store. Buy a pregnancy and you will have your answer. The tests they have now are highly effective giving you results like days after if you are or not. Don't wait and keep stressing yourself out. Find out for sure and only then can you make proper decisions for yourself and your life.Wish you luck!~ Abbeymom

PsyCookie has given you very good advice indeed. Here's a quote from the plannedparenthood.org website, on the 'withdrawal' method statistics.
"How Effective Is Withdrawal?
"Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. Like all birth control methods, the pull out method is much more effective when you do it correctly.
"Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly.
"Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant each year if they don't always do it correctly."
So based on what you said, if you do this withdrawal thing and you do it wrong, like he did, you have a very high risk of pregnancy. The thing about statistics is that each individual will fall either in the pregnant or not pregnant column and we have no way of knowing where you fell.
So buy the test and find out for sure. If you are pregnant, then you start to deal with it. If you are not, I hope that you remember this worry you're having the next time you start to get swept away in the moment.
You still have time for emergency contraception if you act now.
This is a link to a quiz on emergency contraception. At the bottom of the page is a number you can call to get more information.

 The chances of you becoming pregnant are very high.
So what you should do is go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test. No one, beside your GP, can tell you if you're pregnant or not...except this little test. It's better to know this way and get prepared than wait three months for the physical results.
I understand that sometimes in the heat of the moment, sometimes we will disregard this safety methods and just say "what the hell". But you know, sometimes is SO much better to take a minute (cause it only takes a minute to put on a condom) and take precautions than being terrified for finding out your pregnant...or worse, that you have a desease.
Peace
