Hi, Anon,

I'm going to assume that both of the most recent questions are yours, right?

Sperm can live in a woman's system from between 3-5 days, so if she has unprotected sex and then later ovulates during those days, there is a chance she can become pregnant.

The only thing a woman can do to quickly prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex is to take Plan B, also called the morning-after pill. It's available from pharmacists. However, it is meant to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse (3 days) and it sounds like you are already past that point. For future reference, here is some information on it:

Have the two of you considered using birth control? Do you need information on it?
