Yes, I took combined pills when I took bcp's. My doctor put me on Triphasil, which changes the estrogen/progestin levels three times during a cycle. After a year, I switched to another triphasic bcp, Estrostep FE. Estrostep increases the estrogen while keeping the progestin constant.
A progesterone-only minipill is what a doctor would recommend if you are currently nursing, because it shouldn't interfere with lactation.
