Montoux test is a screening test for TB. It's not a confirmatory test. If you hv regular periods with normal flow TB is unlikely. Genital tuberculosis can be diagnosed with endometrial biopsy with hpr and culture, in case your gynaecologist have any doubt. Pt can definitely be pregnant if montoux test is positive without involvement of uterus and tubes so nothing to worry.
