Will taking 5 days of birth control pills prevent pregnancy?

The package says to wait a week but we only waited 5 days. He wasn't even remotely close to cumming inside me... though we all know how UN-effective the "pull-out" method works. The most I could've gotten inside of me is pre-cum. Do you think I'm safe? Are there enough hormones in 5 days of BC to prevent a pregnancy anyway? It's been like... 2 hours. Like I said though. The BC I have taken PLUS the fact that there isn't much sperm in pre-ejaculate fluid anyway should THEORETICALLY keep me safe... right? The BC I'm taking says it's guaranteed 99.5% effective after 7 days if you're taking it perfectly (which I am).

1. No, not according to what I've learned about birth control pills and preventing pregnancy but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
2. It's touch and go. I would like to say that 7 days is probably the really really really safe level, but 5 might be pushing it. If it's been recent then you may want to go down the track of the morning after pill.
3. ummm you should be fine? youll find out in a month! im thinking that you should have waited to have sex though, you arent ready for kids (obviously) and id like to know what you think you'd do with a kid? either way, you should be fine... no reason to worry, stressing will just make you miss your period and freak out even more
4. People get pregnant off of preejaculation fluid, so you are not safe there. There is ALWAYS a chance of becoming pregnant, whether you waited the week before having another form of protection and have taken your pills as prescribed or not. I was told to wait TWO WEEKS before having sex without a condom while starting the pill. I think less than a week is really pushing it.
