"Gray" ectopic/tubal pregnancy?
What happens if implantation occurs right at the boundary between the Fallopian tube and the uterus, is there such thing as a "gray" tubal pregnancy? 129.2.106.82 (talk) 21:31, 23 September 2017 (UTC)Nightvid
 * If it's not in the uterus where it belongs, it's an Ectopic pregnancy. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:08, 23 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Looking at that article, I found out that there is such a thing as "interstitial ectopic pregnancy" - references suggest that "Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is defined as the ectopic gestation developing in the uterine part of the fallopian tube", making up 5% of ectopic pregnancies, and is particularly high risk because it can progress further before the problem is detected.
