Hello and welcome,
I understand that you had genital tuberculosis and are cured now.
The chances of pregnancy are directly proportional to the amount of damage suffered by the tube due to the disease. So you will need a tubal patency test to check if the tubes are open. If they are, then chances of spontaneous conception are good. If they are blocked, you may need a tuboplasty surgery to open them.
An ovulation study will also help to see if the eggs are being released spontaneously as sometimes TB may spread to the ovaries and produce adhesions hindering ovulation.
If these tests are OK chances of spontaneous conception are there. Regarding how much the chances are will depend upon the above two results.
Hope I was able to help.
Thanks for using HCM.
