Brief Answer:
Please opt for long term contraception

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I understand your concerns about unwanted 72.

Unwanted 72 should not be taken regularly. It has to be taken only once in a cycle. Excessive intake alters body hormones and makes menstrual cycles irregular.

Though there won't be effects on future baby, it is not advisable to take the pills so many times.

If you don't want condoms please start on oral contraceptive pills or insert copper containing intrauterine device which provide long term contraceptive cover.

I hope this clarifies your doubts.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
