Can Pregnancy Be Delayed For Two Years After Recovering From TB?
I am a 25 year old female and I have been undergoing treatment for TB (uterus) which would last for 6 months. I have already completed 3.5 months, I was told I can start trying to conceive after 4 months into the treatment. I want to know if Ii can wait for another 2 years before getting pregnant or should I get pregnant immediately to reduce infertility. Please help
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Better to plan for pregnancy as early as possible after completion of treatment for tuberculosis. If you wait for few more years there maybe unforeseen complications which can lead to infertility as you are suspecting. But if the postponement of pregnancy is must to you, you can follow with regular check ups, checking with ultrasound, monitoring AMH levels, hysterosalpingography etc. If everything is normal, you can wait for few more months and can plan pregnancy. But better to take advice with your treating gynecologist who will be more aware of extent of your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
