A member asked:
How does an ectopic pregnancy happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stuck in the tube: Conception normally occurs in the fallopian tube and the embryo travels down the tube and into the uterus where it implants. If the embryo gets stuck and implants in the tube an ectopic pregnancy will occur.
