Brief Answer:
No chance of a pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Even if you had ejaculated completely inside her, intercourse while your girlfriend is menstruating, can never result into a pregnancy.
Also, there was no ejaculation.
So there is furthermore no question of a pregnancy at all in your case.
Precum cannot cause a pregnancy when the female is menstruating.
Please do not worry about it at all.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

No need at all to do or take anything.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I guess you mean an emergency contraceptive ( morning after pill ).
IN my opinion, there is no need at all for any such measure .
There is absolutely no chance of a pregnancy here.
So there is no need to do anything at all.
