Hello and welcome,
I understand your concern. At 2 1/2 month, medical abortion will not be possible as the pregnancy is too advanced for that. A surgical procedure is needed at this stage.
Repeated abortions if done properly do not affect the health as such but every procedure does have some inherent risk with it. Also the chances of infection are slightly more and future fertility may be compromised due to a condition where adhesions develope inside the uterine cavity [ called ashermanns syndrome].
So I suggest that if it is possible to continue with this pregnancy then do it. If not, then please use some contraceptive like depo shots, condoms, intrauterine devices or implants in future so as to avoid this situation.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
