Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through your details and understand your concern.

Once in a while, it is safe to use an emergency contraceptive pill. It doesn't affect your hormones much and doesn't prevent future pregnancies.

It is better to use an IUCD (intrauterine contraceptive device) which will be inserted by your gynecologist. It is safer than the pills and helpful for long-term contraception such as 3 to 5 years.

I hope this answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further.
