YES!

From Yahoo health:
Given all the ways the Pill discourages fertilization it's hard to believe that anyone can get pregnant while using it. And in fact, the Pill does have an effectiveness rate of over 99 percent when used correctly, (taking an active tablet every day during the 21-day cycle). However, because women do forget to take a pill now and then, actual effectiveness in real-world use is about 97 percent.

That may sound pretty good, but remember that it does fall short of total certainty. For example, even assuming the Pill is 99.5 percent effective, 84,000 of the 16.8 million women currently using OCs will have an unintended pregnancy, even if they take their pills correctly every day! If you are concerned about accidental pregnancy while using OCs, you should use a backup method —like a condom or spermicide—each time you have sex. In addition to allaying your fears about getting pregnant, a latex condom, unlike the Pill, will help protect you from the viral types of sexually transmitted disease.
