Unfortunately, there’s no way to save a tubular, or ectopic, pregnancy. The term ectopic means “out of place,” and ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants itself somewhere outside of a woman’s uterus, usually in one of the Fallopian tubes. If left untreated, the growing egg will eventually rupture and cause internal bleeding–which can lead to death. Treatment will vary depending on the size and location of the ectopic tissue and how early the pregnancy is detected.
