You seem to have a torch test showing high titres of rubella and CMV.
They are both viruses and are responsible for causing abortions and birth defects if the mother is infected with them during pregnancy.
These infections are common and only active infections during pregnancy harm the baby. You are having high titres of the IgG antibody. This antibody comes after recovering from the infection and indicates that there was an infection in the past. The normal levels are less than 1. However your rubella and CMV IgG is a bit on the higher side even now. So please get it tested after a month or so and see if levels are decreasing.
If they are decreasing you may attempt pregnancy. Also start taking folic acid tablets to help prevent brain defects in the baby.
Hope this was helpful. Best of luck for your quest for pregnancy. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Ob gy
