Hello,

I would like to know why your doctor prescribed ATT, the anti-tuberculosis treatment, when you were diagnosed with non-tuberculous infection. I presume it was done as a safety precaution. You have to wait until the treatment is complete before you plan conception. If the endometrial tissue repair is good, your chances of successful implantation are increased. Though your ovarian reserve could be low considering your age, with ART, the assisted reproductive techniques, your chances are good.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam
