Injectable contraception (e.g., DMPA): No injection during the 10 months prior to the Screening Visit, unless the participant has returned to normal menses (i.e., 2 consecutive menses) since last injection. 7. Negative urine pregnancy test at enrollment (Visit 2, Day 1). 8. Body mass index \<40 kg/m2. 9. Willing to use the study method as the primary method of contraception until the end of the Treatment Period. 10. At risk for pregnancy defined as: 1. Expecting to have ≥1 act of heterosexual intercourse each month during study participation until the end of the Treatment Period. 2. No medical history suggesting possible infertility or hypofertility, including but not limited to, ectopic pregnancy or pelvic infection (unless has had a subsequent intra-uterine pregnancy). 3. Has a sexual partner with no known problems with infertility orhypofertility. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Planning pregnancy during study participation through the End -of -Treatment Visit (Visit 11, Day 240). 2. Is post-partum and has not had 2 spontaneous menses (1 cycle) since delivery or 1 menses since first or second trimester abortion or miscarriage. 3. Breastfeeding or within 30 days of discontinuing breastfeeding unless the participant has already had 2 menses (1 cycle) following discontinuation of breastfeeding. 4. Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding. 5. Undiagnosed vaginal discharge, lesions, or abnormalities. 6. Participating in another clinical study involving an IP or device within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit or planning to participate in another clinical study during this study. 7. Not living in the catchment area of the study site. 8. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to progestins, including the active substance LB or any excipients of the study treatment. 9. Current need for therapeutic anticoagulation or known history of thrombophilia. 10. Use or planned use of exogenous reproductive hormones during study participation. 11. Body weight change exceeding 10% over the previous year or planned significant weight loss during the study related to bariatric surgery, dieting, or planned treatment. 12. Uncontrolled hypertension, in which diastolic blood pressure remains ≥95 mmHg or systolic blood pressure remains ≥145 mmHg. 13. Smoking nicotine (e.g., cigarettes or electronic cigarettes) AND has at least 1 of the following comorbidities or conditions (at the discretion of the investigator): * Current or history of venous thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders (including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). * Current or history of cerebrovascular or coronary-artery disease. * Valvular heart disease with thrombogenic complications. * Diabetes with vascular involvement. * Known inherited or acquired predisposition to venous thromboembolism or arterial thromboembolism (e.g., factor VLeiden, prothrombin mutation, antiphospholipid antibodies) or bruising within the last 12 months prior to consent. 14. Current or past cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease or at risk of clotting disorders. 15. Impaired mobility (e.g., is wheelchair bound or bedridden) that, in the investigator's opinion, places the participant at increased risk of thrombosis. 16. Known or suspected carcinoma of the breast or suspected progestin-dependent neoplasia. 17. Known or suspected pelvic organ carcinoma. 18. Known Papanicolaou (Pap) or human papillomavirus (HPV) test abnormality that would require a repeat evaluation or treatment during study participation based on standard of care guidelines (American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology or American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists). 19. Known benign or malignant liver tumors, renal disease, or active liver disease. 20. Invasive cancer (past history of any carcinoma or sarcoma, except non-melanoma skin cancer) unless in remission for \>5 years. 21. Current or past medically diagnosed severe depression, which, in the investigator's opinion, could be exacerbated by use of a hormonal contraceptive, unless participant is on stable antidepressant medication. 22. Known or suspected current alcohol dependence syndrome or any recreational drug use that may affect metabolism of the IP or study compliance. 23. Abnormal screening laboratory values defined as: 1. Fasting clinical chemistry values or CBC values designated clinically significant by the investigator. 2. Liver function test results \>twice the upper limit of normal. 24. Uncontrolled thyroid disorder.
