The Influence of Plan B® on Cardiovascular Health.

The goal of this double-blind randomized controlled trial is to learn about the impacts of a single dose of Plan B® on the cardiovascular system in young, health, premenopausal females. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the short-term affect of Plan B® affect on the venous system?
2. What is the short-term affect of Plan B® affect on the health of arteries?

Researchers will compare a single dose of Plan B® (1.5 mg of levonorgestrel) to a placebo to see if Plan B® has unique effects on the cardiovascular system.

Participants will:

1. Undergo baseline measurements of venous thrombosis markers, blood pressure, and measures of arterial function using ultrasound.
2. Be randomized to either take a Plan B® or placebo pill
3. Repeat baseline measurements of venous thrombosis markers, blood pressure, and measures of arterial function using ultrasound each hour, for 6-hours, and then 24- and 48- hours after taking the Plan B® or placebo pill.
