The answer depends on the reason for the hysterectomy. If done for control of endometriosis, using Birth Control might make sense to decrease pain. But there is no need for pregnancy prevention after removal of the uterus, and no need for estrogen support if the ovaries are still in place.

Can you still have a period after removal of the uterus?
No. A period is caused by the buildup of endometrial tissue within the uterine cavity. Without the uterus, there can be no efflux of tissue and blood, so no period. So long as you still have your ovaries, you will have normal hormones, however. I DISAGREE. I just had a hysterectomy - removal of my uterus only - and I am spotting on the calendar day that I was due for my period. My doctor told me that it is possible that I may spot from time to time as it's difficult to remove every single uterine cell from the abdominal cavity.

Actually removal of all your ovaries does stop the period. Without any eggs present, there's no reason for the uterine lining to shed since it is caused by the eggs not being fertilized in time. No eggs in the first place, no need to shed the egg + uterine lining later.
