Hello
Thanks for your query.
See basically the Ig G result DOES NOT MATTER.
If positive, it indicates that you have been exposed to the infection in the past.
Only a positive Ig M indicates a recent infection which should be treated.
Positive Ig G in fact indicates that you have acquired immunity to the infection.
SO do not worry about your results.
The IgM value is negative, so you have nothing to worry.
Stop further testing.
YOu need to do NOTHING for the results so far.
All the best, and enjoy your pregnancy.
Take care.
