Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Positivity of cytomegalovirus IgG antibody is most likely due to old infection of the virus, and if the levels of IgM is low, then definitely the current infection is ruled out.
You can very well plan pregnancy with these reports as CMV IgG are raised because of an older infection , and has no adverse effect on the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
