Lupus anticoagulant came positive

[LadyMM]

I have asked my ivf clinic many times to do further investigation in order to know why am having implantation failure he never bothered himself and blamed it on age

So I went to see another doctor for second opinion and suggested to check lupus anticoagulant

Am so devastated all these embryos and the money spent was wasted

I don't know how they treat lupus I have to check with my GP now

So sad

I have it too. But mine was only picked up after having three miscarriages. I had two missed miscarriages last year after ivf treatment. It didn’t stop me getting pregnant. In fact the consultant said that blood thinners are fine to be started around 6 weeks. Having said that, I’m on blood thinners from the clinic now in preparation for my transfer tomorrow and I was on them for my last fet (which was a negative despite the heparin and aspirin). It does seem a bit of a shock when you first find out I know xx

Hi LadyMM. Usual treatment is using some sort of anti-coagulant such as Clexane/low dose soluble aspirin are the usual drugs of choice during IVF. Still no guarantees, but they are definitely worth trying. I hope you have a satisfactory meeting with your GP. Diane

How about starting prednisone and IVIg

Does it help at all

Hi. Yes, they are other options, but your specialist will discuss them with you beforehand. Diane

So I had meeting with my GP they will do further investigations to confirm it

So I have emailed my ivf clinic and demanded for further treatment

I already had lupus- diagnosed as a teen- so was put on clexane and aspirin from the day of egg collection. Got my BFP on the 1st round but think it was only because of this. I hope you get it resolved xx

I have just found a very faint raised lupus but the next tests came back as negative. It is a very sensitive test apparently. Anyway, I have put myself on baby aspirin and I fully expect a positive outcome next time xx
