Hi & Welcome.
Yes, it is safe to take during pregnancy.
Injection HUCOG (Highly Purified Chorionic Gonadotrophin) is given in first trimester (early pregnancy) to support placental function. It helps in better placental attachment and healthy growth of fetus and prevents the chances of miscarriage. Kindly follow what has been advised by her doctor.
Besides she must have the following nutritional supplements that are needed for healthy baby like:
1. A high protein diet-meat, poultry, fish, or pulses.
2. A high calcium intake- like milk, milk products, eggs, etc
3. A high fiber rich fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables
4. Avoid foods which are not easily digestible such as fatty foods
4. Have six small meals instead of 3 large meals
5. Drink plenty of fluids
6. Go for regular brisk walks for 30 to 40 minutes daily.
7. Take regular iron & folic acid supplementation as prescribed by her gynecologist.
The result of CMV IgG level is positive which indicates past or recent CMV infection. However, the the result of HSV IgM is positive which indicates a current or recent infection. Consult her gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Best regards.
