∙ 11y agoi have had an IUD in place for about 8 months i got it right after my daughter was born, and i just found out today that i am pregnant, I'll call the doctor in the morning and see what happens next.
If used correctly, the failure rate of a copper IUD is 1%. This is extremely low, compared to oral contraceptives (2-8%).
It is very unlikely, the IUD has been found almost nearly as effective as sterilization.
