Low chance: Sperm can live for 48-72 hours in the female genital tract and can fertilize an egg if ovulation happens. There are even some reports of sperm living as long as 5 days. If intercourse happened close to ovulation, than yes, there is a chance. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, you should consider condoms or other forms of contraception.

Lower probability: No one will say you can't get pregnant at any given time; ovulation occurs at roughly day 14 after the first day of the period so in that range you are the most fertile; get on the pill if u need it, please. Good luck.

Yes: Pregnancy has been documented from exposure on any day of a woman's cycle including during menses. This is rare around the period but seen with those having irregular ovulation/cycle patterns. There are no "safe days" so a form of BC is important if you want to avoid pregnancy.
