A member asked:
I had an ectopic last year just wanted to know how i could prevent another and they did do a pap smear and everything came out negative....?

Not much you can do: The cause of the ectopic is due to damage of the oviduct (tube from your uterus). If the other oviduct is damaged, then you are at risk. Close monitoring by your doctor in early pregnancy is essential. There is really not anything you can do to decrease your risk aside from protecting yourself from stds.
