It is not good because it contains high progesterone level.Instead of that you can use oral contraceptive pill if you don't want pregnancy.Start oral contraceptive pill from first day of period for 21 days every month.

Frequent use of unwanted 72 is not recommended as it has high dose of hormones. Better use a low dose combined oral contraceptive pill
