I am wondering what the results would be if I received an MMR and got pregnant? I am also wondering, I have to get the MMR for my job and I am also taking Metformin to stimulate ovulation. Do I have to stop taking this medication or do I just need to use a form of birth control for 4 weeks?
Hi, It is not safe to take MMR vaccine while becoming pregnant. As per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, should be given a month or more before pregnancy because of the safety concerns. It can also be safe for you to take MMR right after giving birth, even while you are breastfeeding. If you need to get vaccinated for MMR avoid becoming pregnant until one month after receiving the MMR vaccine. So, in view of the above you may need to take birth control pills for at least one month after taking MMR. Metformin is safe during pregnancy hence it can be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Hope these answer your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
