An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg "implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus [and] the fertilized egg can't survive. The growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated," according to the Mayo Clinic.

Solo told Elle that she was "hours from dying."

"They ended up having to remove my fallopian tubes," she said.

She also told Elle she began IVF after her miscarriage.
