Nature has its own quirks and one of them is ectopic pregnancy. Life begins with a fertilized egg, called zygote. Serious complications arise when this fertilized egg implants itself outside the womb. This misplaced implant normally happens in the fallopian tubes-the tubes that carry egg from the ovaries to the uterus.
Causes
What causes ectopic pregnancy stays as a mystery. These factors increase the chances
A damaged or scarred fallopian tubes.
Women with a history of pelvic inflammatory disorder.
Women who have a history of endometeriosis, a condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus is found outside the uterus.
Women who have a history of surgeries in the abdomen area.
Women who use intra Uterine Devices, Oral Contraceptive Pills, have undergone tubal ligation and still get pregnant have a greater likelihood of ectopic pregnancy.
When a morning after pill goes wrong, it may end as an ectopic pregnancy.
Smoking.
Ectopic Pregnancy tends to repeat itself.
Girl baby, exposed to DES, a drug in the mother's womb could develop genital anomalies.
Termination of pregnancy more than twice.
IVF techniques and induction of ovulation are associated with increased risk of ectopic pregnancies.
Symptoms

Abdominal or pelvic pain.
Mild cramping on one side of the pelvic.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Emergency
When an embryo ruptures the fallopian tube, it is an emergency, as it leads to massive internal bleeding and possibly death of the mother. When the tube ruptures, you may feel sharp, pain in your pelvis, abdomen or even in your shoulders and neck. You may become dizzy or faint.
