Whats that mean? im seeing dr cain on monday anyway but does anyone have any insight on this?

Lupus anticoagulant? I know a woman that had this and had to be on blood thinners during her entire IVF process and pregnancy.

LUPUS FOUNDATION

My friend thought she had this during all her issues with heart and valve problems. there is a checklist of symptoms and i believe you need to be exhibiting a certain # of them to be diagnosed. At least from what my friend told me.

this site has great info on it and may help you. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that has something to do with antibodies attacking your cells.

Good luck.
