IgG numbers and Valtrex
Posted , 3 users are following.
Here's my situation. I am now 13 weeks out. In November at about 8 weeks my igg was .97. then at 11 weeks it was 1.38, at 12 weeks it was 1.62, at this point I started the valtrex (which was Wednesday of last week), then Monday I had another igg test at 13 weeks and it came back at 1.33. I don't know if the valtrex would cause it to drop or if this is considered normal variation. Maybe I'm just slow at building antibodies but I am 13 weeks out and have only been on the meds for 1 week. I haven't had any symptoms that I have noticed so I'm not sure why I was put on Valtrex. Would Valtrex cause the IgG number to decrease?

No, it's your immune system and anti bodies.
1st week of June 2017 my index was 2.88 (positive of hsv 2 igg) during my hospitalization
end of July 2017(re tested in different clinicand different obgyne) my index was 1.89(positive of hsv 2 igg)
Mid September 2017 (retested again in different clinic/different obgyne) no figures found, but confirmed of my obgyne(positive of hsv 2 igg) thats the time they asked me to take medicine only, and I am living all good, now no outbreak,

The meds delay antibody production, but a week's worth should not have much impact. IgG values typically fluctuate to a degree regardless.
