Once the egg gets fertilized, it travels down the fallopian tube to uterus. But when the tubes are damaged or blocked and fail to propel the egg toward the womb, the egg may become implanted in the tube and continue to develop there. Because almost all Ectopic pregnancies occur in one of the fallopian tubes, they are often called "tubal" pregnancies. Much less often, an egg implants in an ovary, in the cervix, directly in the abdomen, or even in a c-section scar. In rare cases, a woman has a normal pregnancy in her uterus and an Ectopic pregnancy at the same time. This is called a heterotopic pregnancy and it's more likely to happen if one has had fertility treatments, such as in-vitro fertilization.
There's no way to transplant an Ectopic (literally, "out of place") pregnancy into the uterus, so ending the pregnancy is the only option. In fact, if an Ectopic pregnancy is not recognized and treated, the embryo will grow until the fallopian tube ruptures, resulting in severe abdominal pain and bleeding. It can cause permanent damage to the tube or loss of the tube, and if it involves very heavy internal bleeding that's not treated promptly, it can even lead to death. Fortunately, the vast majority of Ectopic pregnancies are caught in time.
