Very small: The events that you described will most likely not result in a pregnancy. It is very unlikely that you could've conceived five days prior to ovulation.

Possible: The sperm can live for several days inside the woman. Ovulation is not easily determined or regular. Sperm sometimes escape the man before he completely ejaculates. So, it is possible for you to get pregnant under the conditions you mention though low likelihood. Use better contraception to be safe. Good luck.
