" Hi....I was able to have a baby and have aps.....Have you had miscarraiges or do you actually have problems getting pregnant? Now that you know you have APS you need to make an appointment asap with a perinatologist (high risk OBGYN). They specialize in women like us. Once you get pregnant, you should immediately start lovenox injections. They will monitor you much closer then regular OB's and see if anything bad is going on before it causes any problems. Feel free to message me any time you need support. I also have lupus and if I can have a baby, so can you :)
hugs
Melissa "
