Hello,
It is not advisable to use emergency contraception with such frequency. This can badly effect your hormonal balance. In fact, use of emergency contraception should be restricted to one or two occasions in a year. You should choose among the extensive range of contraceptive choices available today in consultation with a specialist. If you have already had a child, IUD would be the best choice. If not, you can go for hormonal contraception. Hope this helps.
