Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can definitely plan for baby now.
Rcinex is having rifampicin and isoniazid.
Both are safe in pregnancy. So no need to worry for this.
There is no such blood test to determine quantity of TB germs. If you are having pulmonary TB then you should get done chest x ray and sputum examination.
If both are normal then you can definitely stop Rcinex.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
