Basics: It takes motile/active sperm entering the female genital tract for them to trigger pregnancy. The conditions you cite immobilize/kill sperm so they cannot function. Dead sperm make no babies. Worry if you wish but that is not rational.

Very unlikely: Pregnancy, in this scenario, shouldn't be a cause for worry.
