Has anybody had problems with miscarriages(all blighted ovums)

[Clemenceau]

Can anybody help me, I'm I've had 3 miscarriages in a year all blighted ovums. Has anybody with lupus experienced this? I'm convinced it's my medications but if somebody can give me advice I would really be really gratefull. I'm 34 and take plaquenal,azathioprin+steroid 5mg x

I had four miscarriages before my successful pregnancy with my daughter. She is now 28 years old and when I was suffering my miscarriages 30 years ago, no one really knew about Lupus or Hughes, but now they think this is what caused my miscarriages.

Lots of people have gone on to have successful pregnancies, so dont lose hope. As long as your Obstetrician talked to your Rheumy doc, you should be able to have a successful pregnancy.

Good luck hun

i suffered three miscarriages from 2008-2010, then i was diagnosed as in the early menopause, which is something that lupus can cause.

I had 2 daughters now aged 24 and 23 then suffered 7 unexplained miscarraige, which is now probably thought of as lupus related as all early (less than 12 weeks) I did go on to have a further daughter who is now 14. It is worth asking your rhemy or gp if you can have the 2 blood tests for hughes sydrome as this carries a very common miscarraige issue. Good luck to you and hope all goes well x x

Hi I have had blighted ovums & 1st trimester miscarriages,11 actually. Can't be meds cause I only started taking plaquenil a year ago. I do have 2 boys 12 & 3. I do get very sick when pregnant & with my last son I had a consultant for multiple miscarriages. He found "thyroid antibodies" in my blood. Which apparently causes miscarriages etc. Caused by lupus no doubt.
