Brief Answer:
No effect on future fertility

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Yes, you can take it two times in a year .
However, you should avoid taking it very frequently, as it can lead to menstrual disturbances.Taking it two times in a year do not cause any problem in future pregnancy or fertility.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
