Hi
GREETINGS
You can consult another doctor and take endometrial samples just before menstruation for PCR test .That is the way it is diagnosed.If that also positive then you will have to take antitubercular treatment.
Mean while check your husbands semen analysis and rule out any medical problems with him.
Hope my answer helps you.
