Hello
You were ( are ) a tubercular patient and took treatment for 6 months .
Montox's test is still positive even after 2 months treatment stopped .
Now for confirmation of tuberculosis get in these tests.
==Sputum examination for A F B , if no sputum then get it through nasogastric tube .
==Bronchoscopy , because you stopped the treatment so this is important because Montox's is still positive.
==Chest X RAY , particularly see healed calcified & fibrosis . Also confirm whether FRESH lesions present or not present.
==Sputum for TB CULTURE and sensitivity test.
==Blood test for C B C ( leucocytosis in mild to moderate cases of T B ) E S R ( if > 100 mm highly suggestive that still T B is active).
==Protein Purified Derivative (PPD0-Tuberculin Skin Test.
The main question is about the lesion of tuberculosis .
As far as about pregnancy , even after 7 years of married life , consult an INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion .
But I recommend you consult a CHEST & TUBERCULOSIS specialist and get his treatment .
Hope you will understand seriousness about T B treatment .
I find this answer helpful
