Hello,

Non-penetrative sexual activity usually do not result in pregnancy. Also you have taken emergency pill which has high efficacy in preventing pregnancy. Consider taking OCPs after consulting your health care provider as repetitive usage of emergency pills is not advisable. Along with it barrier protection is also advised as it protects against sexually transmitted diseases. If you do miss your periods please don't hesitate to do a pregnancy test though it is very unlikely.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
