Hello Parminder,
Since you have been diagnosed with TB , first job is to complete the Anti-TB drugs ( ATT). If you have been diagnosed with TB in lungs, damage to uterus is not very significant. But can't always predict. Extrapulmonary TB - can damage Uterus.
Your reduced flow may be due to the stress of heavy infection & may be normal once cleared.
TB in uterus usually affects inner lining, reducing the thickness, blood supply. Ovaries are spared.
As soon as ATT is over, meet an infertility specialist & plan a pregnancy.
If the inner lining of uterus is damaged, it is irreversible. You can get pregnant only by IVF- Surrogate
All the best
