Are there any new birth control options?

A couple: There is a new type of patch on the horizon; and a new intrauterine contraceptive (very similar to mirena). Otherwise, the old standbys: ocps, the patch, nuvaring, Depo Provera shots, Nexplanon implant and Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud and paragard iud. Also, of course: condoms, female sponge, spermicidal jelly, diaphragms...
