Is it possible to get pregnant if you have sex after getting an IUD?

Patient's question:

I want to get an IUD. Is it within 7 days of my period or after 7 days? Can I have sex during this time? If I have sex, will I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Hello! The intrauterine device (IUD) can be effective for contraception, but so far, no contraceptive method can achieve a 100% effectiveness rate. It is possible that the IUD has fallen out, but the person has not noticed it; the IUD is positioned low in the uterine cavity, close to the cervix, and thus cannot inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg;
Suggestions: The size of the IUD may not be suitable for the uterine cavity, or the IUD may have deformed and lost its contraceptive function; the endometrium may not react to the IUD, resulting in ineffective contraception, etc.
