Pregnancy Info HOME

I have had a positive ANA for about one year and have been seeing a rhumatologist during that time to watch for signs of lupus. I also have no indication of any disease. I recently had a miscarriage and went to a different rhumatologist for a second opinion. He also says that I do not have lupus but I do have antiphospholipid antibodies which causes blood clotting and can cause miscarriages. I am now taking the baby aspirin everyday and will continue to do so if I get pregnant again. My last ANA test came back negative. Any virus or infection (cold or sore throat) can cause a positive ANA so try not to worry. My Dr. said that 10% of the population will have a positive ANA at some time . Remember, even women with full blown lupus have healthy babies! I also have talked to several ob\gyn's and they feel that the miscarriage had nothing to do with the positive ANA. Hope my story helps a little !
