1  Q1. Does SLE cause infertility? A1. SLE is not a cause of infertility if the disease is mild. However, fertility can be reduced in women with severe active disease, especially lupus nephritis, and with the use of immunosuppressive drugs.

2  Q2. Are there forms of SLE considered to be high risk for complications during pregnancy? A2. Patients with aPL antibodies/APS, renal or cardiac disease, pulmonary hypertension, prior history of poor obstetric outcomes, active lupus, antibodies to Ro/La and multiple gestation are at increased risk of complications during pregnancy and postpartum.

3  Q2. Does the risk of complications for SLE decrease after childbirth? A3. No, the postpartum period is a high‐risk time for lupus flares and thrombotic events. Close monitoring is required not only during pregnancy, but also in this period.
