Can you get pregnant with an IUD?
It is indeed possible to get pregnant with an intrauterine device (IUD) in place, because IUDs are not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. Around one in 100 women can get pregnant with an IUD, according to clinical trials conducted with IUDs, and the outcome of the pregnancy varies, depending on the woman, the IUD, and the situation. Due to the fact that pregnancy is a potential risk with an IUD in place, it is important for women to keep track of changes in their bodies while using the IUD, so that a pregnancy can be identified in the early stages.
