I have an auto-immune disease, but they haven't put a name on it, since my blood tests and symptoms don't fit any particular mold and I've been nearly asymptomatic for a couple years. Even though I've been nearly asymptomatic, I still have ANA antibodies in my blood (Anti-Ro/SSA and Anti-La/SSB). Last time I got checked my Anti-Ro's were pretty high. It scares me since that's the one that's been known to cause miscarriage and heart problems in the fetus.
As for pregnancy, I'm currently almost 5 weeks pregnant with my first. It took me 5 months of TTC, with one chemical pregnancy at cycle 2. I'm scared to death I'll lose this one. I plan to make an appointment with my Rheumy again soon (I haven't been in a while) to see what my titers are and if there are any meds I need to take to get my ANA down, if necessary.
