Can I get pregnant while I am taking HRT?
This depends entirely on whether your natural menopause has already occured.
If you went through the menopause before you started HRT, you should continue to use contraceptives for as long as your doctor recommends.
HRT does not increase your chances of getting pregnant, and it does not act as a contraceptive.
If you started HRT before your periods stopped, it will be difficult to know when you have stopped ovulating, as you will probably continue to have monthly periods due to the treatment.
In this case it may be safest to carry on using contraceptives until you are fifty-five.
Your doctor will advise you on this.
