Is It Dangerous If I Get Pregnant While On Prostap Injection?

I have been on Prostap injection and tibilone for endomitriosis once a month for nearly a year. My husband and I have decided to try for a baby. We do not use contraception because of our beliefs at all. Is it dangerous if i get pregnant while on the injection? we have decided that the last injection i had should be my last. What do i need to do to get pregnant? I am really scared that if i get pregnant now on prostap i will harm the baby. There was a time i
thought i was pregnant and went to the doctors and my gp said it wouldnt harm the baby Is this right? My husband is pushing for us to have penatrive sex. But iam concerned about this. Please help thank you dee

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
