If you used a condom throughout the entire sexual encounter and there was no ejaculation, then you will not become pregnant.

When it comes to the question of whether you can get pregnant from protected sex without ejaculation, the answer is generally no, but there are some nuances to consider. Using a condom correctly and consistently is one of the most effective methods of contraception available, significantly reducing the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Condoms work by creating a barrier that prevents sperm from entering the vagina and fertilizing an egg. If the condom is used properly throughout the entire sexual encounter, including during any foreplay, the chances of pregnancy are very low. Even if ejaculation does not occur inside the vagina, there is still a small risk associated with pre-ejaculate fluid, which can contain sperm. However, this risk is minimal when using a condom correctly.

In your case, since you mentioned that you used a condom throughout the entire sexual encounter and there was no ejaculation, the likelihood of pregnancy is extremely low. It is important to ensure that the condom was not damaged or slipped off during intercourse, as this could compromise its effectiveness. If you have any concerns about the integrity of the condom, it might be worth considering emergency contraception, although the need for it seems unlikely in your situation.

It's also worth noting that while condoms are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, they are not 100% foolproof. Factors such as improper use, breakage, or slippage can increase the risk of pregnancy. Therefore, it is always a good practice to check the condom for any visible damage before use and to ensure that it is put on correctly.

In summary, if you used a condom correctly and there was no ejaculation, the chances of becoming pregnant are very low. However, if you have any lingering concerns or if you experience any unusual symptoms, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for further advice and reassurance. Additionally, if you are looking for more reliable long-term contraception options, discussing these with your healthcare provider can help you find the best method for your needs.
