I guess it could be possible if it was the
first week or so of the shot. But I don't
understand how they would know she was
pregnant unless she was late for her next
shot. In which they have to do a test
before they can give the next shot. I
don't know I guess I would be talking to
her and her parents. The shot is very
effective but it can happen

Any form of birth control is not 100%!!!!
Yeah, she could have lied about being on
birth control, but hey, there are bigger
problems now. It's too late to place the
blame. Your son is just as much to blame
as she is. He could have used a condom.
Now, move on and worry about this baby!
Your grandchild.

The dates sound about right, you get the
shot every three months.
But does it matter anymore? I don't think
so.

Yeah, those dates sound right. She must
have gotten pregnant within the first week
of the first shot, if you think about it:
that was a little over five months ago.
And that is completely possible.
As others have said, no birth control is
100%. She HAD to have gotten pregnant in
August.
Right now, you have bigger fish to fry. 5
months... that's 20 weeks. This girl is
too far along for a voluntary abortion, so
she's left with adoption or keeping it.
You WILL have a grandchild.
