Dear Rekha, welcome to HCM.

I feel sorry to read your results.
but all is not lost.
Uterine TB is the reason for failure to concieve.
You should get thoroughly evaluated (if not already) and rule out active lung TB.
Sputum tests , Xray can show it.
If sputum positive, you should take isolation precautions to prevent spread to others.
If firmly negative and your physician/ pulmonologist allows, you may not stay in isolation, but till adequate treatment , avoid sexual relationship.
Please consult your doctor about the extent of spread and other precautions.

Thanks !Wish you all the best !!
