Hi mercy,
This drug is not a medication you want to take while trying to conceive, so you will need to take it for 5 months to help treat your endometriosis BEFORE trying to become pregnant.

I do not believe this medication stops a period (it does not prevent ovulation, from my knowledge).

Did this answer all of your questions?
