Did anyone lose MMR immunity/understand why?

When I had DS 3 years ago, I was told I lost my MMR immunity and needed a booster. I didn't think much of it... Now I just was told l lost it again and need it again!

Has this happened to anyone and/or do you understand why? Thanks in advance.

Yes most adults don't realize they need boosters. Unless you caught the disease you need your booster. For example, I had the measles as a child therefore i never need the shot.

I had gotten it when I was younger, but then had to get it again after baby was born. My OB said that sometimes they don't take. I thought that was odd. especially since now I know other people have had issues with it taking as well.

Not w pregnancy, but I had to get my titers checked when I graduated college and one of them (I think the rubella) was a BFN!  I got another booster but I've been OK since (and it's been at least a decade...showing my age now!)
