I would think 'every 2 months.' I think 'twice a month' would be 'every 2 weeks', or 'fort-nightly.'

There is, of course, bi-annual for twice a year and bi-ennial for every two years. Unfortunately, that would imply bi-monthly would mean twice a month, whereas I think common usage has it that it means once every two months. The French would say "tous les quinze jours" (every 15 days) for twice a month which is more accurate than the English "fortnightly".
