Hi!  if you need contraception, surely your health provider would discuss this with you  :-\

Hopefully someone will be along!

Hi Samantha. Yes you can have mini pill with HRT.

You may prefer something that does both contraception and the prog part of hrt. A mirena can do both and I think (not certain) two POP. You may find hrt and bcp gives you too much prog. If you're taking 200mg utro every day rather than on a cycle it's already double the normal dose.
