Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are very low.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
As you had sex on second day of your period( which is your safe day) and ovulation ussually occurs 14th day of cycle, the chances of pregnancy are almost negligible in your case (because sperm can survive in female vagina for 5-7 days).

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck
Regards
