Answer
Dear Samanta,
An early pregnancy consists of decidua - a thick lining that forms around the uterus, and a small gestational sac (it looks like a small piece of wet paper towel.  There is no visible embryo until after nine weeks of pregnancy.  Before this, there are invisible cells that start to come together inside the fluid of the sac.  If the cytotec was unsuccessful, the sac did not come down.  Instead, you bled (like a period) but the pregnancy remained inside.
