Hello,
I would like to tell you that you must avoid any kind of steroidal treatment during pregnancy, because that will affect the fetus. So don't plan your pregnancy during treatment with steroids. Steroids usually will not affect your menstrual period.
So my advice to you is first get rid off your hip problem while steroids are going and then you can plan your pregnancy.
I find this answer helpful
