Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
Cytotec is not to be used without medical supervision. This is very dangerous and may cause serious side effects. The dose you mentioned is not right and not effective. Also the response varies from one person to another. You should visit your doctor to have a transvaginal ultrasound to know wether you have aborted or not. If you have not aborted or if the abortion is incomplete, he will discuss with you the different options.
It is very important to check your blood group and RH and to take anti-D if negative.
Good luck.
