Q: i am taking prometrium, how long does this stay in your body after you stop taking it?

i have not had a period in 5 months and we want to have a baby. i have had test run and everything is normal except i do not have a period. so i started prometrium for 10 days, i was told that this could cause birth defects so how long should i wait after taking this to have a baby? if i have a period next month without prometrium are the risks still there?
