Well... I've never heard of someone taking prostaglandins to avoid pregnancy.
They're hormones, yes, but mostly related to the infflamatory process: increasing permeability and attracting cells into the infflamatory spot.
They're known in pregnancy as being responsibles for contracting the myometrium before deliverance. Also, their levels are increased or decreased by sexual hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
