However, I think using it that frequently is a serious issue, as in seriously horrible for your body.

Can you provide any authoritative medical sources to support this? Princeton University's (http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/ecsafe.htm) EC page says, "Emergency contraceptive pills ("morning after pills") have no long term or serious side effects, although you might experience some minor side effects.... The only time emergency contraception is “contraindicated” – meaning you should not use it – is when you know you are pregnant."

Using EC more than once isn't as effective as using a different regular contraceptive method. But in terms of safety (http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/ecrepeated.html), "There are no safety concerns about using emergency contraceptive pills (also known as "morning after pills" or "day after pills") more than once."

If you have sources showing that using Plan B frequently is "seriously horrible for your body," I'd be interested in seeing them.
