It is not surprising that your period is off. The emergency contraceptive pill is not meant to be used routinely. It would not be wise to continue using it as your main form of contraception. They are a much stronger combination of hormones than regular birth control pills.

Speak to your doctor about other forms of birth control that would work best for you. Use one of those on a regular basis so that you do not need to use the emergency pills.

Talk to your husband again about using condoms. Many men don't like to use them, but if you don't use any other form of regular birth control, he must use one to lower the chances of an unplanned pregnancy and for your health. It puts your health in danger if all you are relying on is frequent use of the emergency contraceptive pill.

Again, speak to your doctor about your options.

Please use a normal birth control method, yes continued use of Plan B can have and cause other health issues. It is for unplanned and unexpected sex. If you are married, you would normally be having sex on a regular schedule.

You need to be on birth control, or just refuse to have sex without condoms. ( it is your choices also)
