Measure
Normal-BMI
Women with normal BMI will receive the first emergency contraception (EC) dose and complete pharmacokinetics (PK) assessments; then return to the clinic after at least 8 days to receive the second study drug and complete the same assessments. The study drugs Levonorgestrel (LNG-EC) and Ulipristal Acetate (UPA-EC) will be given in random order.
Obese-MRI
Women with obese BMI will receive the first emergency contraception (EC) dose and complete pharmacokinetics (PK) assessments; then return to the clinic after at least 8 days to receive the second study drug and complete the same assessments. The study drugs Levonorgestrel (LNG-EC) and Ulipristal Acetate (UPA-EC) will be given in random order.

There were 16 participants classified as "Normal-BMI" and 16 participants classified as "Obese-BMI", and all participants received all interventions; however, PRS instructed for the investigator to further split the 2 BMI arms into the time period when "Normal" and "Obese-BMI" received each drug, so that the reported events can be attributed to the appropriate drug.
