Hi and welcome to HCM
Emergency contraceptive pills are suppose to be taken as a emergency only, not as regular contraception.
First time you have taken correctly and chances of pregnancy are less, but you have taken the risk of unprotected sexual intercourse again. Now their is high chance of pregnancy and you have to repeat these pills again to prevent from getting pregnant.
But remember taking these pills back to back will harm you more. I suggest you to consult a local doctor and then take pills under his guidance.
If you don't want to get pregnant in future take regular contraceptive pills daily or its better to use condoms. I never advice my patients to use emergency contraception very often. Its not at all safe.
Your periods may be delayed or may have early periods after taking these pills. Better consult a doctor if you won't get periods
All the best
