Hi,
Prostap is a drug that completely suppresses your hormones , thereby avoiding periods & ovulation, thus helping in endometriosis. While on this injection you will not get pregnant, no need of any other contraception.
Once you stop it may take few months for hormone levels to normalise & ovulation to start. It is given even when we do IVF.
Hormone's life is short & will not affect baby health.
But don't take this Injection after you get pregnant, it can cause some neurological problems in childhood ( Attention Deficit Disorder)
All the best
