Do you need regular blood pressure checks if you're on the progesterone only pill?

Asking for my DD.

I thought the progesterone only one didn't come with risk of increased blood pressure?

No I don’t think so. I get 6 months supply with a telephone call. Combined pill I used to have to get my blood pressure done

OK thanks, that is useful to know.

I do. It is not as much of a risk but I think GP's are supposed to monitor it for all those taking normal contraception

I'm always asked for it when I have my annual review.
