No, you have it backwards. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, and prior PID is a risk factor for current PID.

What if you have had a pelvic inflammatory disease any chance of having an ectopic pregnancy?

Yes. The chances of ectopic are much higher because PID actually attacks your reproductive system. Many times damaging your tubes and ovaries. I had an ectopic, and when they opened me up they realized I had a previous PID infection which was never diagnosed. I get tested regularly and was very disappointed by this overlook. They said I could have another ectopic because of the damage. You can have a test called a hysterosalpinogram, which will check your tubes to make sure they can work.
