Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your Rubella IgG is positive and your IgM is negative. This means you're already immune to rubella, most likely from an earlier infection or vaccination. That's reassuring news for you before a pregnancy, since rubella caught in early pregnancy is what causes birth defects. Your existing immunity already protects you against that risk.
Next Steps
You don't need the rubella vaccine again, since your immunity is already confirmed. Given your two pregnancy losses, it's worth completing a fuller recurrent-loss workup with your gynaecologist beyond this TORCH panel.
Health Tips
If a vaccine is ever needed for another reason, you'd need it well before conceiving. A live vaccine like this isn't given once you're pregnant. Please see your gynaecologist to go over your full workup and the right timing.
