Question : We are planning for a child now after 45 months of our marriage. We met a Gyanecologist doctor and she advised us for blood test - Torch Profile if we are planning for pregnancy.
Below are the details:
Wife Age: 25.5 Years
Wife Blood Group: O+
My Age: 32.5 Years
My Blood group: O+
Is there a problem to conceive if we both have same blood group?
IgG report is positive and igM report is negative.
What is the use of TORCH PROFILE - IgM and IgG blood test?
I have attached the Torch Profile report for your reference.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
There is no problem in conception if both parents are of same blood group.
TORCH profile is a group of infections which are routinely tested in all females who are pregnant or desirous of same.
And around 10% of these come out IgG positive which are not significant if done in non pregnant women.
So you can very relax and plan pregnancy.
All the best.

Thank you doctor. If you check both reports, some of igG comppmemts have positive values while all other components have negative value. So, can you please provide some detail explanation about impact of positive and negative result?
Brief Answer:
No significance in your case.
Detailed Answer:
IgG positivity is not at all significant in non pregnant female and thus holds no importance.
In case of non pregnant women if found positive then further testing is done and then management is planned.
So you can just relax and try naturally for pregnancy and keep taking folic acid tablets for proper growth of the baby.
No significance in your case.
