Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are almost nil

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Chances of pregnancy are almost nil by the unprotected intercourse on 12 th November, as the ovulation might have occurred around 20 -22 days back .
However, to be on safer side, you can take i pill within 72 hours.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Thankyou doctor...i have one more doubt..like my second cycle was supposed to start on 4 th Nov which i postponed..so would regesterone interfere with the ovulation in dat cycle..becoz though 12th Nov falls on day 8 which i guess is safe..but we say the shortest cycle can be 21 in that case ovulation would b 7 days after the start of period..so is there a chance of day 8 coming in d fertile period if regesterone doesn't interfere with the ovulation in dis cycle?

Brief Answer:
Regestrone interferes with the cycle

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Resgestrone interferes with the ovulation timing, though do not completely inhibit ovulation.
Taking regestrone do not lead to normal cyclical changes in the menstrual cycle and they are quite unpredictable.
This is the reason I am suggesting you to take i pill, to be on safer side.
