Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
February 13, 2016 - 9:30pmEmergency contraception is only meant to be taken on rare occasions because taking it frequently can cause severe symptoms.
The common side effects include: nausea, vomiting, tender breasts, cramps, vaginal bleeding etc.
When you take it often your regular period will also be disrupted.
You can take it again if you wish, but be aware you may experience unpleasant symptoms.
If you plan to continue having sex on a regular basis, you may want to start taking a more reliable/consistent form of birth control.
Planned Parenthood is a good course because you can get an appointment quickly and they offer services for free and/or low cost if you have a very low income.
You did not mention your age, but I want to let you know that Planned Parenthood does not require parental consent for a minor to receive birth control.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article about the basics of emergency contraception.

I hope that helps.
Faith
