In case you’re like me and knew it was bad but couldn’t remember what it was, it’s when the embryo attaches outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Generally causes pain and bleeding and is very rare for the fetus to survive.

Very rare? It's never happened. It's considered impossible. The fetus has no way to get nutrients outside of the uterus. Maybe one day we will develop a method of transferring the fetus into the uterus or an artificial womb. Maybe. One day.

Edit: never happened in the fallopian tubes. It can attach other places but the survival rate is 1% or less.
