It is possible but not likely.
Yes, if you ovulate early and you had sex within a few days of day 5 because the sperm can last up to 72 hours. Not likely though
That would be very unusual if your periods are regular and predictable
Typically, you would need to ovulate. So, there is no time in 5 days for that to occur.

Depends on the length of your cycle. You usually ovulate 14 days before the start of your next period. That would make your cycle length 24 days long approximately.
