test for Rubella antibodies before TTC?

I spoke to the medical centre recepionist and she is going to check with the doc. I may not have to go back to see the doctor again just pick up the script to get the blood test done.

Also found out that you can request your own tests directly from medlab but there is a charge of about $30. I never knew you could request your own with out the doctor...but I guess the problem might arise when you get the results and can't actually read or understand what it means
