Hello,
In failed medical abortion, it may take time to resolve completely. Incomplete abortion or retained bits have to ruled out which may cause more bleeding with clots and give positive result.
At this stage, you must consult with gynecologist for assessment of the abortion procedure. You need to undergo one USG scan to check for retained bits or tissue. In such case, D & C is required to complete the abortion procedure.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Before repeating cytotec, i suggest you to get a transvaginal USG done for retained products of conception.
If the size is more than 15mm, you need to get D&C.
If size is less than 15mm, nothing needs to be done.
Vomiting is one of the side effects of cytotec.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
