bodybuilda,
I definitely feel your pain. A few years back I was having sex with my girlfriend when my condom ripped, and this was after I had just came. I was really freaking out. I stayed up all night long afterwards looking up emergency contraceptives on the Internet and finally managed to find a site that prescribed them over the Internet. The next morning we both went to the pharmacy to pick them up, she took them and about two days later her period arrived. I’m glad things ended up without her getting pregnant, but for those two days I was a wreck.
Since you never actually got any ejaculate inside of her, only precum, I wouldn’t worry about it at all. The chances that you got her pregnant are extremely minuscule. And I am speaking from experience. After that whole ordeal with my girlfriend, we both ended up becoming very lazy and went on to have sex on and off over a period of about a year most of the time without using a condom. I was just pulling out before I came. Now I’m not saying this is 100% to say the least and the case could very well be that one of us could have been sterile or somewhat infertile, so I sure as hell wouldn’t take it as a fact, but I believe it an effective method of contraceptive. From what I have read the main reason that the pull out method often fails is that the man must be able to pull out in time before he cums. I guess oftentimes the guy pulls out too late. And then I would suppose that there is that .001% freak accident of pulling out and the girl still getting pregnant.
If it’s only been a day or so and you just want to have more reassurance you should try to get the morning after pill. Where I’m from it requires a prescription but In California, Alaska, Washington State, New Mexico and Hawaii, some pharmacies will provide emergency contraceptive pills without requiring you to see anyone except the pharmacist. A downfall is it must be taken within 72 hours after you have sex, so I don’t know if you will still have time and in my girlfriends case it caused to her face to break out a bit for the next few months. Its basically a chemical concoction that tricks the girls body into thinking that its time to start her period and flushes everything out.
As to the controversy over precum containing sperm. I remember reading somewhere that it does contain some sperm but little if any motile sperm. Here’s one quote that I was able to find regarding precum.
“The chance of pregnancy is probably extremely low. Two small studies found no motile sperm in
preejaculatory fluid, but that is all the evidence there is. However, HIV *can* be detected in
preejaculatory fluid.”

If your interested in reading more about pregnancy and emergency contraceptives, I have found that website to be extremely insightful.

I would definitely chill and stop worring. Everything will turn out ok.
Hope this helps.
