Hi,

Thank you for your question. I will need to do more research about this important question. Have you discussed this with your lupus specialist? S/he may be able to refer you to a gynaecologist who treats women with lupus.

You are also very welcome to post this question at the LuPUS Message Board @ lupus-support.org/LuPUSMB - you will need to register which is free.

With good wishes,

Ros
