Hello,
If you have self-induced the abortion, you should immediately take the help of a specialist. The dosage may not be sufficient without proper prescription based on the location of the sac and the age of the pregnancy as observed in a sonogram. the symptoms are a side effect of the medication. You may also need a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram to assess the situation better. A repetition of the dosage may also be needed if the process is incomplete. Hope this helps.
