Hi, After going through the report, I would also advise you the same to not take chance for one more year. Reasons are as follows. 1. The titre of rubella, Cytomegalo virus, Herpes simplex virus is exceptionally high, indicating that you are still recovering from the infection. 2. Absence of IgM in rubella, Herpes simplex virus or Cytomegalo virus indicates a possible recent infection, which could have been the cause of abortion. 3. A fall in titre will effectively conclude that the infection has been removed from your body to not cause any injury and it will take some time. 4. If you take a chance before the titre falls, there is a possibility of the fetus being affected and an abortion or a baby with congenital anomalies can be born.
