Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

Your girlfriend is overdosing on emergency contraception that contains very high doses of hormones. You need to use condoms.
EC is up to 95% effective so there is little chance of pregnancy. You need to look up the side effects of EC to see what to expect - they should be on the pill packets or go online. and your girlfriend should stop taking them as a method of birth control - they are designed for emergencies only.
Best,
Susan
