Hello,
Indeed, the medications used to treat her brucellosis including Rifampin and Doxycyclin during pregnancy puts at high risk for causing death of foetus. To ensure a healthy pregnancy, we recommend not to get pregnant until your system is cleared of these drugs and the disease itself. However, do not torture yourself, if there is a prolapse of brucellosis, it is clear it puts your wife at high risk pregnancy. So, try to follow her doctor's advice, and take medications regularly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
