AnswerHello, christy,
Taking Cytotec vaginally is VERY DANGEROUS. I don't know who told you to do that, but you need to stay away from him. You also need to go to the doctor and ask him to test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have it, he MUST start aggressive life-saving measures immediately. Taking Cytotec vaginally can cause a woman to develop toxic shock syndrome, and once symptoms start, it kills a woman within hours. Whatever you do, don't take any more of it. It depresses a woman's immune system, and since her body doesn't fight back, that's why it can be fatal.
Taking Cytotec by itself may not produce an abortion. It sounds like you decided to self-medicate. Cytotec is poisonous to a pregnant woman, and the manufacturer says a pregnant woman should not take it because it can kill her.
Please seek out an organization in your area that helps pregnant woman. They have affiliations with doctors who are familiar with these problems, and can help you. Please do this! You can find one near you by going to this web site:

Go to the doctor, and follow his instructions. Don't try to take any more medications of any kind. Cytotec is not the only poisonous medication out there.
Please let me know what happens. Take care of yourself.
