Hello
Thanks for your query.
Having been infected with Toxoplasma, you should have acquired immunity by now.
Also a positive Ig G indicates immunity against it.
The titres are on decreasing trend.
Ideally, I would ask you to wait for six months and then plan a pregnancy, without further additional and meaningless testing.
Also, take regular folic acid supplements in the interim period.
Take care, and feel free to ask further questions.
