Doctor asked for avidity test. As per report dated 02.09.18 IgM is 0.74(negative) and IgG is greater than 200and IgG with the avidity was high(96.97percent).
Same report test was done on 5.09.18.IgM was negative IgG was 495.

High avidity suggests past infection.I suggest detailed level 2 anomaly scan at 18 weeks.Most probably things should be fine.In case you are too worried ..can go for amniotic fluid PCR but that would put risk to baby.Share report of 18 weeks scan and then decide on amniocentesis.You can connect with me for online consultation for any details.
