PLEASE NOTE IT IS FAILURE OF THESE CONTRACEPTIVE PRACTICES, AND NOT THE CONTRACEPTIVE PRACTICE IN ITSELF Intrauterine device (IUD) use are associated with reduce pregnancies and reduced ectopic rates, however, if there is a failure of the IUD and a pregnancy results, ectopic gestation is more likely as compared to normal population conceiving These are not very clear relations. Many other risk factors, including smoking and multiple lifetime sexual paners, are weakly associated with ectopic pregnancy .
