Hello, My sister got married eight months ago and has not conceived since then. We have shown her to a games and there were few tests prescribed. Her ESR value is 16 and mantoux test value is 10. Doctor told that ESR value is quite high and has advised for a TB test. I wanted to understand if we are going in the right direction or is it necessary to consult a physician. As the next test is 7000 rupees.

Yes. The doctor is doing right thing as the most common cause for primary infertility in India is TB.

Eight months after marriage is no too long period for not conceiving. So, don't worry. Give some time to couple. 16 ESR has no significant value and MT is outdated test for diagnosis of active tuberculosis. I think they both r healthy and conceive sooner or later on.
