Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study examines the presence and impact of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women who have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy — a potentially dangerous situation where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. The goal is to understand the psychological burden of this experience so that better emotional support and screening tools can be developed. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy - Your pregnancy was 14 weeks or earlier at the time of diagnosis - You are willing to participate in a psychological evaluation **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a heterotopic pregnancy — a rare condition where one pregnancy is inside the uterus and another is outside it at the same time Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
