Hi there,
DP and I are planning to start TTC in three months. I received the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination in 1996, when I was 14 (no idea why, but the health records are definitely there - it may have been because I was travelling that year). Does this mean that I should still be tested for rubella before TTC this year?
I did ask my doctor a whiel ago then if there were any health checks I needed in advance of TTC, and she only really stressed the need for folic acid - no mention of vaccines, etc. But I see that the NHS and other sites recommend that women planning to TTC should be tested for rubella as a matter of course...
I'll definitely ask my doctor this week, regardless, but would be interested to hear MNers thoughts in the meanime.
Thanks in advance!
