If both partners' reports are normal and there’s a history of abdominal TB 12 years ago, it’s important to understand that tuberculosis can sometimes leave behind adhesions or scarring in the reproductive organs, potentially affecting fertility even after successful treatment. Here are some steps to consider:

Ayurvedic Recommendations:
Uterine Health Tonic:
Use herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Gokshura to strengthen reproductive health and improve uterine function. Shatavari is particularly beneficial for improving ovulation and balancing hormones.

Panchakarma Therapy:
A detoxification therapy like Uttar Basti (medicated enema) can help clear any subtle blockages in the reproductive tract and enhance fertility.

Diet and Lifestyle:

Include: Warm, easily digestible foods, ghee, nuts, seeds (like sesame and flaxseeds), and fresh fruits like pomegranate.
Avoid: Cold, processed, or fried foods that can disturb digestion and Agni.
Strengthen Immunity:
Take herbal preparations like Chyawanprash to maintain immunity and overall vitality.

Track Ovulation:
Work on timing intercourse during the fertile window for better chances of conception.

Modern Medical Support:
Consider an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) or laparoscopy if not already done, to check for tubal patency or any residual adhesions. If natural conception remains challenging, consult a fertility specialist for further guidance. Combining Ayurveda with modern interventions can provide a holistic approach to achieving conception.

When you've been trying to have a baby naturally and it's taking a while, it can be frustrating, especially with a past history like abdominal TB. But let's break it down through an Ayurvedic lens. Abdominal TB might have left behind some impact on your reproductive tissues or "shukra dhatu," affecting fertility. Even if your reports are normal today, past conditions can influence the balance of your doshas, which is crucial for conception.

First, let's address lifestyle and diet. Ideally, promote foods that are easily digestible—light on the system—like cooked veggies, whole grains, and limited dairy. The idea is to strengthen your "agni," or digestive fire, which is foundational for all bodily functions, including reproduction. 

Since stress can also mess with your doshas, finding a calming routine is a good start. Simple pranayama like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can really help with grounding and relaxation. Try doing it every morning or evening for just 5-10 minutes.

As for herbs, Ashwagandha and Shatavari have been traditionally used in Ayurveda to support reproductive health. Adding these in the form of powder or tablets might be beneficial, but I'd advise consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to see what suits your body type best. 

It's also said that Abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil) helps improve circulation and rejuvenate the tissues, enhancing fertility. Use warm sesame or coconut oil and, ideally, do this before a warm shower in the morning, maybe twice a week.

Timing can be key too—track your cycles and aim for intimacy during the fertility window. Sometimes, aligning with nature's rhythm helps!

If after trying these methods for a while you still find conceiving difficult, consulting a fertility specialist who respects both modern science and traditional practices might provide more tailored insights. Always remember, you aren't alone in this journey.
