An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilised egg attaches itself outside the cavity of the uterus (womb).
The majority of ectopic pregnancies are found in the Fallopian tubes.
In rare cases, the egg attaches itself in one of the ovaries, the cervix (neck of the womb) or another organ within the pelvis. An ectopic pregnancy is not usually capable of surviving and in most instances an embryo is not developed. An ectopic pregnancy will spontaneously miscarry.
The majority of women diagnosed will have to be operated on or treated with medication.

Had an etopic in 2004 then had a bady in 2005 cud you have an etopic again?
Unfortunately there are no guarantees against you having or not having another ectopic pregnancy, partially because the reasons for ectopic pregnancy are really unknown at the time. It can be difficult physically and emotionally after the loss of a child when trying to conceive again. I would recommend that you let a few people that are close to you in your life know that you want to try again and make sure you have their support. It is always good to know that you have a few people that you can have help you through these times. Just make sure that you are ready to try again emotionally, as well as your partner and then you will just need to asses whether or not you are ready to try again because there are chances that it could happen again, especially if you had to have surgery to remove your last one. If your fallopian tubes were not obstructed in any way from your last ectopic pregnancy, you have about a 60% chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future.
