What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant After Taking TB Treatment?

I am a 26 year old woman, married in Nov 2008. After marriage, for 5-6 months we used barrier method. Then we started trying to conceive in July 2009. After trying for 8 months, we consulted doctor in March 2010. Doctor asked us to do following tests. My tests - CBC Hb, B. sugar F&PP, HIV-1&2 NR, VDRL NR, HbsAg NR, Torch Igm NR, Thyroid profile WNL, Urine R/M NAD, USG Pelvis for uterus. My Husband tests - Semen analysis, B sugar F&PP, VDRL NR, Urine R/M NAD. All my and my husband tests were normal. After that DNC was done and APTT & PT tests were conducted. Result of Histo Biopsy was - No endometritis. But PCR for Koch was positive. Doctor also asked to do Quantiferon TB gold test which was also positive. Doctor told me i have initial stage of TB. Then doctor started 8 months TB treatment on 28 May. For first three months, I took Rcinex, Etambutol, Pyrazinamide and Benadon. For next 3 months, Pyrazinamide was stopped. And now for the last 2 months, Ethambutol has also been stopped. This month is my last month of treatment. So except TB i have no problem as all my and my husband tests came normal. So what are my chances of becoming pregnant after treatment is over. How much time it will take. And what should i do to get pregnant as early as possible. Will i have to go through some more tests? Pls help me.

You will have to undergo hysterosalpingography to see that your uterine cavity is normal and fallopian tubes are patent. Repeat endometrial sampling to see that you are cured of TB.
Wait till you finish your anti TB treatment and than try conception.
