Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Since you had unprotected sex just after the periods the chances of conception are less than 1% with precum. You can wait for your periods and ask for blood test for pregnancy at the lab. It is a common test. In case your periods start before 5th Nov then there is no need to go for the test. Your ovulation should have happened on 22nd if it was a 26 day cycle.
Hope my answer is helpful.

If i had sex on 16th and my ovulation on 22nd. Is it at all possible to get pregnant. I have got different ideas from the net about life of sperm inside. Is it 4-5 days or 5-7 days or 72 hrs. I am quite confused .
Brief Answer:
Details below.
Detailed Answer:
The sperm usually stays alive for 3-5 days but it does not have adequate energy left to reach an ovum and to fertilize it after 72 hours. You need not worry as the chances of pregnancy in your case are practically nil.
