Question
Are there new birth control pills out there?
Answer
There are many varieties of pills available today. Most are low dose (20-35 micrograms 
of estrogen) and the progestin varies.  Your doctor will select a pill specifically 
for you based on your individual history and complaints.  
Most women will do well on any pill, but certain patients benefit more 
from certain types of  pills.  
Many of the newer pills have different progesterone types, lower estrogen doses, 
or have variations in the pill free interval.  Ask your doctor what is right for you.
