Study Summary

Obese women are significantly more likely than their normal BMI counterparts to experience failure of orally-dosed emergency contraceptives. The PI's preliminary data provides evidence for testing a dose escalation strategy in an effort to provide improved efficacy from orally-dosed emergency contraceptives in obese women. The overall project will be focused on both levonorgestrel (LNG) - and ulipristal acetate-containing emergency contraception but this protocol registration is for the LNG aspect of the study procedures.

Primary Outcome

No evidence of follicle rupture achieved by participant in one menstrual (treatment) cycle at 5 days post LNG dosing. Follicle rupture is defined as the disappearance of or \>50% reduction in the size of the leading follicle. Dosing occurred after a dominant follicle measuring 15 mm or greater in at least one dimension was visualized on ultrasound.

Interventions

  • DRUG Levonorgestrel-based emergency contraception 1.5 mg
