You should go to your doctor and get a
complete physical, along with bloodwork,
and a pap/pelvic. When making the
appointment, tell them that you would like
this done as you are trying to have a
baby, and you want to make sure everything
is fine before you actively try.
As for the vaccine, that is something you
need to check with your doctor about.
Good luck to you!

If you have not had your mmr, it is highly
recommended that you get it and wait three
months before conceiving. If you are not
immune and contract this while pregnant,
it can cause deafness and a number of
other problems with your unborn child.
There are no cases on file of problems
with unborn children whose mothers
conceived before the three month waiting
period after receiving the mmr vaccine,
but the research says that theoretically,
it could cause problems. Hope that helps.
