Hi, I live in a foreign country and things are a bit different here.

In the states in general is HRT stronger in terms of hormones amounts than BCP? Is HRT given as a "supplement" and BCP to completely shut down the system? Joan.

Hi Joan

HRT is much lower dose oestrogen than the BCP & different type of oetsrogen. Some women in peri do take BCP........and of course they do still need contraception

There is tons of info on this site in articles and forums - read it up

Where are you?
