Ectopic Pregnancy CausesBecause there are several causes of ectopic pregnancy, sometimes the exact reason is known; sometimes it isn't. In cases where the causes are known, possibilities include a problem with the fertilized egg itself and transport problems within the fallopian tube. Risk factors for the condition include having had an ectopic pregnancy in the past, a history of IUD use, or a history of pelvic inflammatory disease.
