Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the termination of pregnancy by medicines is possible only within 6-7 weeks.For a pregnancy of 2 and half months ie.,around 10 weeks medicines usually lead to incomplete abortion and so surgical method like D&C is preferred.That is why the abortion was not complete.Only option now to terminate is D&C .I am sorry for you as it is not allowed in your country but that is the only option left.
