Anyone tested for Lupus Anticoagulant?

My RE ordered bloodwork to test for this and IgG and IgM antibodies. He thinks this may be a clue as to what caused my m/c. He thinks if one or more are positive then we can treat them throughout the pregnancy and have better success next time. I am scheduled to do my IUI this month also but am wondering if I should hold off until we have the results back and a plan if needed. What do you girls think?

I forgot to post the good news that I have no cysts and two 8mm follies, one on each side, and the lining is perfect.

Hi, I had this test done after my son died, just to rule it out for the future. - I had that test done along with about 50 others (not quite but alot!). It is probably better to know possibly if you have it or not. Can't you just get it done and then if you get pregnant treat it with medicine? After all the testing I had done they never found out why my son was born still. But it is better to know that not to I feel. Good luck Heidi

Yeah, he wants me to do the test tomorrow and deal with whatever if we get pregnant. I am just nervous about it.
