I'm a bit confused (having a senile moment after all the excitement of today's rugby!) - if you're on HRT, doesn't that mean you're post-menopausal? In which case, why do you need to protect against pregnancy? Of course, you may be taking it because you're peri-menopausal, in which case, I understand your concern (who wants a baby when you're about to go through the "change"?). The cap is a good method to use if this is the case & it needn't be a passion-killer, if you er...pre-empt the situation, so to speak (get my drift?).
