My pregnancy is 8 weeks and 2 days today and my early pregnancy scan shows everything is fine with a bpm of 173 and a CRL of 16 mm. However, my TORCH test report showed Rubella IgM 1.65 and IgG 0.30. I have had no fever, rash, or symptoms. The doctor suggested this test because at 6 weeks of pregnancy the fetal bpm was 107, but in today scan it is 173. Is rubella a cause of concern? Please suggest.

Raised Rubella IgM can indicate recent infectionimportant in early pregnancy. Please repeat Rubella IgG avidity test.

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.

Hello doctor, I am nineteen weeks pregnant. My rubella IgG test was 1.93 positive during my first trimester. But on my anomaly scan some type of infection is seen. So my doctor advised me for rubella IgG avidity test. What is the purpose of this avidity test if already my rubella IgG is done and my report is positive? Are there any chances of rubella infection again after a positive rubella report? Will this have any problem in my child?

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.
