Ectopic pregnancies occur from 1 in every 40 to 1 in every 100 pregnancies.
About 85% of the women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are later able to have a normal pregnancy. A repeated ectopic pregnancy may occur in 10 - 20% of cases. Some women do not become pregnant again, while others become pregnant and spontaneously abort (lose the baby) during the first 3 months.
The rate of a woman in the United States who die due to an ectopic pregnancy has dropped in the last 30 years to less than 0.1%.

about 2% of all pregnancies in 1992 were tubal. Thats what the current percentages are based on. There were 6.5 million pregnancies that year.
People who quote the one in 40 or one in 50 data are simply quoting only part of that study. The numbers end up being the same when applied to the actual data, and not just left alone like that.
When you do the math of 2% of 6.5 million pregnancies, it ends up being a very rare condition. :)
You can google that info, thats how I found it.

Some say 1 in 100, others say 1 in 50. But, once you've had one you have a 1 in 3 chance of having another.
