fertility and lupus

My fianc was told his blood work came back positive for lupus. Could this be affecting his fertility too?

I'm sorry to hear that your fiance's blood work came back showing signs of lupus. I wish you both the best!

To answer your question, I don't know if there are any affects of lupus on fertility, but it sounds like a good question for your doctor. I can see from your post count that you are a newbie around here, so I just want to point you in the right direction. This board is for people who have been TTC for over a year with no success (or 6 months over the age of 35). Most of us have an infertility diagnosis and are under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist. Perhaps you fit into that category, in which case I'm very sorry (it's hard to tell because you don't have any info in your siggy and I don't recognize your username). You might want to try your question on the TTGP page too. I wish you all of the best!

Is it lupus or lupus anticoagulant? I tested positive for lupus anticoagulant initially but my retest was negitive. What I learned during the waiting game for the test results was its a bigger issue for staying pregnant because of clotting. Is there a retest?

Ya im confused on how this blogging stuff works, is there somewhere that tells me someone responded to my posts?

And ya we have been trying for about a year and a half but the past 3 months I've been going to the doctor about it.

In that case, it sounds like this is a good board for you. I'm sorry it has been such a long time for you. My DH & I have been at it for just over a year too which you can see in my siggy. When you say you're seeing a doctor, do you mean a RE or OB?

I think there's a way to watch threads... though I've clicked on that link a bunch of times and it doesn't seem to do anything for me. I usually just come back to check on the threads I'm interested in throughout the day. There's also a tab on your home page where it keeps track of your posting history.

I've had a hard time navigating the technology aspect of things around this site, but the boards are excellent! Lots of knowledgeable ladies and support

Good luck with everything and I hope you find the answer to your question!
