Answer:

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant with an IUD. It depends upon the actual type of IUD, but a copper IUD has a nominal failure rate of 0.8%, meaning that in each year there is a 0.8% chance that a normally sexually active couple that uses a copper IUD as their only form of birth control will encounter an unwanted pregnancy.
