Treatments for vaginal atrophy are so localised that there should be no requirement for progesterone or a Mirena coil.  Certainly on the leaflet with my Ovestin it doesn't mention the need for either and neither the GP nor the Pharmacist has suggested taking a break from the preparation, or that other medication is required.  The take-up is mainly at the point of requirement, i.e. in the vagina ………
