The bad news is, if you weigh more than 195 lbs and need emergency contraception, you have to talk your doctor. Another option for emergency contraception is a copper IUD, but hey're expensive, insertion is a WHOLE THING, and they may cause heavier periods.
There is some evidence that doubling the dose of Plan B may be effective in people with higher BMI, BUT that's VERY UNPROVEN in the scientific literature. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27000996/

In sum, if you think emergency contraception might be something you need in your life in the next decade or so, now might be a really good time to buy some in case the conservative Supreme Court outlaws it.
