Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency contraceptive pills will have high dose of hormones compared with regular contraceptive pills.
Repeated usage of emergency contraceptive pills can lead to problems like hormonal imbalance, menstrual irregularity etc.

The usual recommend gap between two emergency pills is two months.
As you are not having menstrual irregularity, there may not be any problem for fertility.
As you have used the pills for longer period, better to avoid emergency pills from nowonwards.
You once go for ultrasound to check the uterine size, endometrial thickness, ovaries etc.
Then track the ovulation in next cycle and plan intercourse around that period.
This will increase the possibility of pregnancy.
Take care.
