Are there any high estrogen dose contraception pills?

Birth control: The estrogen in most combination birth control pills(ones that contain estrogen and progesterone) is call ethinyl estradiol. High dose estrogen birth control contains either 35 or 50 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol (0.035 or 0.05 milligrams)
