The morning after pill (Plan B) should not affect future fertility. That being said, it is not a form of regular birth control and should not be used in that way. If you are saying condoms suck because they always break or slip off that is different than saying they suck because your partner is complaining about having to use them. If you are having problems with using the condoms, no one's luck is that bad and the both of you need to reread the instructions and follow them exactly. If they are consistently breaking, than there is not enough air being left in the bottom of the condom when it is being rolled onto the penis, they are old and have been exposed to heat or light or are just an inferior brand, or your partner is too big for the regular sized ones (he'll just love that reason) and he needs to get the "magnum" sized condoms. Bottom line is the morning after pill is not good for your body as you have noticed since it always makes you sick. If you are going to be taking hormones so darn often, then just go on the pill, or get some other form of hormonal birth control. Since you are sexually active, I just know you have a GYN you see every year, so talk with them about your other options for a birth control method that can work effectively and be comfortable for the both of you. If you have not been to the GYN, now is the time, and planned parenthood is an excellent place to go if you can't go to a GYN for whatever reason.

Wow, so you can afford the morning after pill everyweek, but you cant afford to pay like 60 dollars every 3 months for the shot?!?
And if you go to planned parenthood, they can not only put you on BC, but they prices are on a sliding scale!
I think you need to see a Mental Heath Professional rather then a doc for BC.

The morning after pill is meant as emergency aftercare only, not as a common practice. And to be perfectly honest, this is pure laziness on yours and your partners part. If you don't like condoms, fine ... get another form of contraception. Birth Control, IUD, etc.
As its name implies, EC is intended for occasional use, when primary means of contraception fail. It is a high dosage of estrogen, and you are risking your health by, very simply, overdosing. Advocates for the pill, when told this might happen, argued that women knew better than to abuse this form of emergency contraception, but apparently you're the exception that proves the rule.
The most common side effects of emergency contraception pills are nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, vomiting, and mastalgia. These side effects normally resolve within 24 hours. These effects are less for progestin-only pills compared to combined pills (only 23% of progestin-only users experience nausea, whereas 50% of combined pill users do). Estrogen in combined ECPs is responsible for the increased incidence of nausea and vomiting. Antiemetics may be prescribed for both methods. If vomiting occurs within an hour after taking ECPs, it may be necessary to repeat the dose.
Temporary disruption of the menstrual cycle is also common and may manifest as early or late periods, spotting or breakthrough bleeding, and (less commonly) missed periods. The primary mechanism of EC is delaying ovulation. Menstruation occurs, on average, 14 days after ovulation, so delayed ovulation results in delayed menstruation. Suppression of ovulation may cause anovulatory bleeding, which could manifest as an early period.
