    An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly (95%) in one of the fallopian tubes. The majority of tubal pregnancies implant in the ampulla portion of the tube, while others may occur in the isthmus, fimbria, interstitium, ovaries, or other abdominal/pelvic sites. Risk factors include abnormal tube anatomy, prior surgeries, and a history of ectopic pregnancy, which increases the risk five-fold. Common symptoms are a delay in menstruation accompanied by abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding or spotting.
