Hi
Rubella is an infection that can greatly affect the pregnancy so it is important that after an infection to wait few months before conceiving again, as you have already done.
To make sure you have developed immunity and are protected it might be advisable to have the blood test again and have IgM and IgG for rubella. If you are IgG positive you have developed immunity and are protected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
