Hello
Thanks for writing to DoctorSpring.com with your health concern.
After the dose of Cytotec pills, generally heavy bleeding ( more than normal period anyway ) with clots and cramping is to be expected.
Often in a blighted ovum, these pills might not work.
As you have had very light bleeding, it is possible that the expulsion of the products has not occurred totally.
The only way to know for sure is to have an ultrasound scan.
Please visit your gynecologist and have a repeat scan.
If the tissue is still retained inside, you would need to undergo surgical removal.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
