What’s the difference between progestogen-only contraceptive pills and combined pills?

The progestogen only pill is otherwise known as the mini pill, and it just contains one hormone called (you guessed it!) progestogen. It's similar to the hormone that our body naturally creates called progesterone. In this short film, a *General Practitioner explains the difference between the combined contraceptive pill which contains oestrogen and progestogen, and the progestogen-only pill which just contains progestogen.
