Brief Answer:
It is a better option.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

If you are having retained products of conception after taking abortion pills and still bleeding, it is better to go for D&C.

You can take mesoprost after consulting with your treating doctor but chances of retained products are still there with it.

So it is better to go for d&C.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
