Doctor: HelloYou 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 .
