Re: IVF & Ectopics? (Amber)

[Guest guest]

I posted a whole bunch of links yesterday. Some seemed to think IVF

was more serious a risk than some others did... For example, one

stated, that an ectopic should be " strongly suspected " if someone had

undergone IVF and had any of the symptoms, whereas another said a 2-

5% chance. Anyway, the links should be in the archives. If you

can't find them, let me know, and I will repost them for you.
