Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is important to rule out TORCH infections before attempting pregnancy since these infections have a deleterious effect on pregnancy.
IgM negativity for TORCH infections rules out recent infection and thus it is safe to plan pregnancy.
Besides TORCH tests other tests like blood glucose, blood pressure and hemoglobin need to be assessed.
They all need to be in normal range.
After conception, regular antenatal check ups are required to assess maternal as well as fetal well being.
Thanks and take care
