An ectopic (tubal) pregnancy is when a fertilized egg attaches outside of the uterus. The egg often implants in 1 of the fallopian tubes. As the egg grows, it can cause the tube to rupture (break). This pamphlet explains why you may need to be tested for an ectopic pregnancy, how the test is done, symptoms to watch for when waiting for your test results, and how you will get your test results. 

This pamphlet is also available in French: FF85-1964
