Brief Answer:
Your doctor is wrong
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I am sorry to see that your doctor has given you wrong advice.
You all tests IgM is negative. It means You dont have any active infection. IgG positive means old infection. This has no impact on fertility.
I request you to send me all other tests you have (like HSG and semen analysis) so that I can advice you better.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
