Answer

Lupus patients have the same fertility rates as the general population. The problem is staying pregnant when you have lupus. Many patients with lupus have the antiphospholipid antibody which can cause miscarriages. If you are pregnant and have lupus it is considered a high risk pregnancy and you should be closely monitored.
