My wife blood test report shows Rubella values: IgG 4.76 and IgM 0.57. Are these values normal before planning a family? Should we be worried about the IgG value, as we have heard that abnormal Rubella values can cause cerebral palsy related problems in the child? We might have already conceived. Please advise on Rubella values.

IgG is borderline and IgM is negative. This likely indicates no recent infection, but the level of immunity is unclear. Consider rechecking IgG. No need to panic IgM negativity is a good sign.

My TORCH test report is Rubella IgG antibodies 51 IU per ml, Rubella IgM 0.22 index, and CMV IgG 31 AU per ml. What does it mean? I am worried about it.

I am 34 years old and currently 5+ weeks pregnant. My recent blood tests show IgG CMV at 339 IU/mL (positive) and IgG CMV Rubella positive. My thyroid T4 is low at 0.852. I am anxious as my blood tests show these infections. Should I continue with the pregnancy? This is my second pregnancy and my first child is a 4 years old.

I am planning for pregnancy. Last year, in the 32nd week, I had a miscarriage due to CMV IgG and IgM being positive. Today we did a TORCH test for the next pregnancy. The results are Rubella IgG 67.90 IU/ml, IgM 0.40; CMV IgG greater than 250.0 AU/ml, IgM 2.43. I am worrying about this. Can I plan for pregnancy? Please help.
