Hi,
IgG implies past infection or vaccination. Rubella is a one time infection and does not generally repeat. There is actually no need to repeat the TORCH test for IgG titres. There is no problem in trying to conceive now. Acyclovir is usually given to treat Cytomegalovirus infection. Please do not worry about future conception as you are now resistant to the infection. TORCH test may be repeated before each pregnancy in future. Hope your query is clarified. Wish you good health.

Hi Good day. You wait for six more weeks and repeat the titre. Start taking folic acid. It is good to plan your pregnancy two months later after testing and consulting your doctor. All the best.
