General & Family Physician 's  Response
In my opinion first complete course of anti tubercular medication and than plan pregnancy

because if TB infection is persisting it has dangerous for developing fetus

And Streptomycin, a anti tubercular medication is not used to treat TB in pregnant women, because it may cause birth defect
