I had a rubella shot but I might be preggers

Just a bit of background, I've had 2 mc (last one mmc with fetus removed 02/08). I had a hysteroscopy / polypectomy on 16/10, with my last AF cd1 being on 09/10. I'm on a 31/32 day cycle. Hubby and I haven't been using bc but we're not ttc properly although we Dtd around the time I ovulated, the 1st/2nd nov. Anyway on 4th nov I was told that I needed a rubella jab because I wasn't immune (I did a preg test at gp it was -ve). So I was given the vaccine because it was no point waiting and due to op I prob wouldn't have conceived anyway. BUT I'm a few days late. I'm showing exactly the same symptoms I had last 2 pregnancies. But I'm so scared if I am, the harm I may have caused having the measles mumps rubella shot! I was told after the shot that I couldn't ttc for 3 months because of the potential harm. The vaccine is a live virus. Could this effect a developing a fetus?

Yes you need to see your doctor - it's dangerous tp a fetus esp early stages. I'm sorry this must be upsetting but please see a doctor the sooner you do it the more time you and your h have to consider your options should you need to

There is no recorded case of harm coming of this.

The first reply is unhelpful.

Your GP will be interested.

Don't panic.

Sorry op - doc is right.

rb30 · 15/11/2013 21:51

Thanks for replying. Doc your response was reassuring. Fingers crossed nothing to worry about. I think I may have ovulated about the same time of the injection so I'm hoping the jab toxins didn't make it that far down...oh I don't know...I can't go through number 3....

My ex husband lost an eye due to his mother having the vaccine whilst pregnant, you do need to get to the GP immediately

I think I mc'd...started very clotted, veiny heavy bleeding yesterday, v much like my first mc. Heartbroken...3rd time! I have gp appt tomorrow so will know for sure if I was, but was symptomatic as per my usual. :-(
