Hi,
Thanks for posting your problem in HCM.
Having sex penetrative or non-penetrative OR ejaculation inside/outside or no ejaculation always carries a risk of getting pregnant. Even pre-cum (pre-ejaculate fluid) might contain active sperms which are capable of fertilisation.
Even though you suggest that it was two days before ovulation, it carries a risk as you cannot predict ovulation and also sperms inside vagina remain viable for 72 hours.
If you have taken emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours, it will prevent pregnancy. So don't worry. Only thing is you need to wait till your periods happen.
