need information big time, ladies

My 'granddaughter', a veteran of the Georgia Public School "Just say no" program just told me she had unprotected sex two days ago with a boy and she's petrified. Her last period was four days ago. What are the odds here. I would look it up myself but my mind is twirling. She is a wonderful girl, my baby and I want to help her. Does anyone know the odds? Thanks.

Not impossible, but chances are pretty slim, but how long can sperm live? Couple of days? Can she still take the Morning After Pill? Maybe she should take that, just in case.

Member of mine. The condom broke and she was petrified. I went to the pharmacy on her behalf and got the morning after pill. Then I invited her and her boyfriend to my home and did my best to counsel them both as to how relationships are difficult and that they needed to openly discuss what happened, how sex has consequences, how they had to talk honestly about their feelings on the incident and that many more discussions needed to happen so they could support one another in a loving environment. Then I had the young man escort her into the bathroom and they kind of 'took the pill together'. It was a healthy, open, and a little sad episode but it was mature and thought out as well....
