Failure?: It sounds like the medication likely worked. If what you're saying is that the fetus doesn't have a heartbeat, and it's shrunk in size, then likely the medication has worked. Best is to be under supervision of the doctor while using this medication. The medication can cause serious birth defects, so if you're at all unsure you should follow up with the doctor to make sure the procedure is complete.
