My wife is 25 year and had rubella vaccine 4 months earlier. We are planning to have a baby now. We have done a blood test for rubella IGG & IMG, 90 and 120 days after the vaccination. Report shows IGG-76.50 & IGM-95.40 (after 90 days of vaccination) and IGG-88.90 & IGM-95.60 (after 120 days of vaccination). Both IGG & IGM is showing reactive. She is not having any symptoms of rubella infection then why IGM is coming high and reactive? IGG might be reactivate because of immunization. What is the significance of the report as we are bit confused and can we try for pregnancy now? We need our baby now. Is it safe to plan now?

It is possible to have high igM levels after vaccination. If her IgM was negative before vaccination ignore it and start try for pregnancy. If you don't know the status before vaccination then to differentiate between primary rubella infection and vaccination you need another test for IgG avidity.
