Is the following paragraph saying that if you do get PG on the minipill that it will be an ectopic one? Chat Icon Is this true??? Now I'm worried what if?


HOW DOES THE PROGESTIN-ONLY PILL WORK?
POPs may prevent pregnancy in several ways. They thicken the cervical mucus (the substance at the opening of the uterus), making it harder for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. Like combined pills, they can prevent a woman's body from releasing an egg during her monthly menstrual cycle. However, ovulation may not be consistently suppressed on POPs. Five percent of women using POPs will have an unintended pregnancy within the first year of typical use. Perfect use rate is 0.5%. The chance of becoming pregnant increases with missed pills. While the overall risk of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy is lowered by this method, any pregnancy that does occur is more likely to be ectopic. Finally, POPs will not prevent functional ovarian cysts as well as the combination oral contraceptive.


Thanks!
