Brief Answer:
Consider PCR

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about Tuberculosis ( TB ).

Following is my reply:

1) PCR is more reliable. You can consider taking AKT for 6 months.

2) After 6 months of treatment, please go ahead with IVF as your age is already 32 which is higher side.

3) Dont waste anymore time. Finish AKT and go for IVF.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
