Hello,
Welcome to the forum. Yes, pregnancy is possible if the man did not ejaculate inside and it was an unprotected sex. Sometimes even pre ejaculate or prostatic secretions can cause pregnancy if they contain sperms. Chances of pregnancy are even more when the precum contains any of the active sperms which can remain viable for up to 5 days under ideal circumstances in the body and ovulation or release of ova or egg occurs.

Although pregnancy can occur any time during menstrual cycle but the best timing of intercourse in order to conceive is day 10, 12, 14 and 16 (in case of late ovulation) of a 28 day cycle. So if you had unprotected sex on any of these days, your chances of becoming pregnant are higher even if the man has orgasm outside. So please check your pregnancy status with your gynecologist. You can also do a urine for pregnancy test at home after about 1 week of your missed periods date.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
