Hi and welcome to HCM.
Ejaculation is not a must, even the precum which is secreted in male genital organ just before ejaculation also contains sperms which may cause pregnancy.
But if you have taken unwanted 72 within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse then chances of pregnancy is less
If by chance if you miss your next periods then take a home pregnancy test, if its positive then contact a local doctor for termination if you dont want to continue pregnancy.
If pregnancy gets ruled out and if you are not ready for pregnancy, but intend to remain sexually active, you should consider getting started on suitable regular birth control measures to be protected (after periods). Be regular with birth control use as instructed. Avoid having unprotected sexual contact if you are not ready for pregnancy.
