CMV primoinfection (first infection) during pregnancy can in fact affect a growing baby. Patients not exposed to this virus have negative IGM/IGG antibodies. Patients recently exposed have IGM positive and IGG negative antibodies and finally those who have a past infection carry IGM negative and IGG positive antibodies. In your case the latest scenario seems to be your case and it is unlikely that the pregnancy was lost due to CMV infection. You can get pregnant again anytime you want. Good Luck!
