If you have APS and want to have a family I would find a good Ob/Gyn. Look around and find one who is familiar with APS and does high risk preg.'s. Go see them before you start trying to concieve. They will be able to advise you on every step of the way.
It is possible to have children with APS it just may take a bit more time and effort to have a baby, but don't give up.
I found out I have APS when I was 44. My MD's were surprized because I have 4 children out of 6 pregnancies.
Good luck.......DJM

I'm new to APS and am not really sure if miscarriages are normal for women with it or not. I just found out about a month ago I have APS, this was right after my 6th miscarriage. I also have lupus so pregnancy is a high-risk for me anyway. I do however have a son, which is a miracle in itself. Anyway...my doctor said that having children is possible and that there are medications that can help a pregnancy along although not completely preventing a miscarriage. Find a good ob and hopefully you have a good dr for your APS. Make sure they both know EVERYTHING. And good luck.

I have APS. I have had three early miscarriages. I have one son, who we consider to be a miracle baby. We almost lost him at 7 weeks also. I am currently pregnant after 4 years of trying. I see a reproductive specialist and I am on lovenox, baby aspirin, folate, progesterone, and a calcium/vitamin D combo to combat the effects of the lovenox.

I had 3 miscarriages. The first one was at 11.5 weeks, the 2nd was at 14 weeks and the last one was a molar pregnancy and doesnt really count.

then I found an incredible high risk ob/gyn. He started me on low dose asprian BEFORE i got pregnant.

I had a son born at 38 weeks and he weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. 17 months later I had a daughter born at 36.5 weeks and she weighed 6 lbs and 7 oz...and 21 months after that I had another daughter. She was born at 38 weeks and weighed 6 lbs and 3 oz.

It is all about finding the right doctor in my opinion. After the birth of my last child I had a tubal litigation. I have a lot of health problems and my body could just not handle anymore pregnancies.

They monitered my blood during pregnancies to watch and see if I need the heperin shots. I did not. Now my youngest is 4 years old and I am taking Warfarin and still taking a low dose aspirian.

Talk with your doctor. Every person is different and every treatment is different.

Yes, APLS can cause multiple miscarriages. I had one in my 1st trimester, 2 yrs. after my daughter. I had a DNC, was put on Chlomid and had to wait a few months before trying again and then had my son. I'm 44 now, and of course don't plan on having anymore.

this was my one and only official symptom. Two miscarriages, diagnosis, took a baby aspirin a day....8 lb.12 oz girl!
