One size fits all: Remember, plan b is a one size fits all dosing regimen, not changed based on body mass index. While not an ideal form of birth control, it is a reasonable option as a last resort. Remember try to be proactive about birth control so you don't run into the need to use this option. And remember it doesn't protect your from STDs. Best of luck.

Probably: but it may not be as effective in women who are overweight/ obese. Ella may be more effective for high BMI.
