As stated previously, the first day of my last period was June 9, the sexual encounter was June 16. I am a regular 28 day cycle. There was no protection, though he entered the vaginal area, and removed, I believe there was pre-ejaculation fluid. I have not had to worry and have not read much over the last 14 years on more current knowledge. So it is unfortuante I am seeking info at this after the fact moment. I would be interested to know if it is even possible to have early symptoms, a very pronounced headache and nausea, both of which I have been experiencing just two days after the sexual encounter, I read upon conceptions, there is in fact a rush of hormone changes immediately. Any one every experience this early on? Additionally... he has been working under conditions for the last two months is an environment that is excessive hot tempuratures over 116 at times, and I also read (it is possible) it lowers the mobility rate of the sperm. I need some realistic possible hope here.

I answered your other, very similar question.
All I can add is that it is impossible to have symptoms of pregnancy 48 hours after having sex. And some of the information given in the answer you chose as being the best answer in your other question was incorrect.
You will not have symptoms of pregnancy that are directly, truly attributable to a pregnancy until the conceived embryo has implanted in the uterine wall and the hormone levels have built up to a level where they will begin to override the hormones that were there to being with - about 3-4 weeks after conception, or 1-2 weeks after a missed period.
Symptoms that appear earleir than this are more often than not caused by stress, fear or wishful thinking.
You have to be realistic - first you are 47 years old and your likelihood of a successful natural conception is very low. Second if you have a 28 day cycle and are actually still ovulating (most women you age are not, even if they are still having periods) then the date you had sex was not the most fertile time of the month. Third, he did not ejaculate inside you. All up, the possibility of you being pregnant is very, very low indeed.
If you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms just days after having sex then I can all but guarantee that this is just your mind playing tricks on you - or you becoming so hyper-aware of your body that any tiny little stress related thing suddenly becomes "I'm pregnant!!".
There is very little you can do here until your period either shows up or doesn't - but they way you are going here you are going to work yourself up into such a state your period will be late and that will only make things worse.
If you are absolutely in agony over this, visit your doctor about 12-14 days after you had sex and ask for a blood test, this will be pretty accurate. While you're at it you might want to get a general hormonal and gynaecological level check - this will tell you whether you are still viably ovulating - you may have nothing to worry about at all.

In truth the headaches and nausea are more likely to be stress related, due to the worry over the situation, more than any hormonal changes. Even if conception occurred, it takes 3-5 days for the embryo to implant enough for the body to recognize it is pregnant and start to change the hormones.
Yes, pre-ejaculate could get you pregnant, but it is slightly reduced risk, due only to the smaller overall volume.
Yes, a male exposed to extreme heat can loose sperm motility, but that doesn't necessarily make him totally sterile.
But in your favour is the fact that you ovulate about the 14th day before the start (first day) of your next period, which, if you are ovulating, and based on the information you supplied, would be about the 23rd of this month. The sperm can only survive for around 36-60 hours inside the woman, so it is unlikely you could have conceived at this time.
So, if you are not pregnant, and I don't think you are, be a whole lot wiser next time (assuming you want a "next time") and protect yourself, and use a condom every time.
