this is kind of disturbing but im wondering if it was the embryo. I took the pills yesterday. i just woke up and checked my pad. the clinic, when i was there, said no way as it would be way too small to see at 6 weeks. but there is a round whitish yellowish ball/glob that is pretty big and thick in the middle of bloddy tissue in my pad....what else could it be? ugh....

I would be inclined to say that what you have seen is the gestational sac that contains the embryo. You'd most likely not be able to see the embryo because at 6 weeks it is very tiny.

A blood clot. Which is basically a hunk of lining of your uterus. The same lining of your uterus that you shed every month during your period.

The embryo is far too small for you to see now and know what you were seeing.

7 week medical abortion, saw the fetus
I had a medical abortion at 7 weeks and I absolutely saw the intact fetus. It had perfectly webbed toes, fingers- a black spec eye with a simple iris? a frog style ear placed where you'd think the neck would be- and was about the size of a large bean. (say a big kidney bean) It was attached of course by the ambilical cord to the placenta. I passed the whole thing perfectly intact- there was no egg sac. It was very traumatizing. I was told I'd "never see" this several times. I couldn't miss it.
