>> 1) Can such claims be justified?
Answer Yes. I thought the official advice was women
should have reliable contraception until 2 yrs after LMP. I certainly
claim , particularly as failure to provide decent advice
resulting in pregnancy would certainly spoil the womans day and may be
medico-legally indefensible!

>> 2)What is the risk of pregnancy at this age
Answer Risk of pregnancy probably very small but usually
relatively disastrous for the patient.
>>and *is* it increased if you are on HRT?
Answer dunno
