Brief Answer:
Do not affect future fertility

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Taking emergency contraceptive pills do not affect future chances of fertility, however this can make the menstrual cycles irregular.
It is better to take a regular contraception rather than taking emergency contraceptive pills repeatedly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
