The components are(at least in the lab we use): Lupus anticoagulant cardiolipin IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies phosphatidyl serine IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies phosphatidic acid IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies phosphatidyl ethanolamine IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies phosphatidyl choline IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies

That's only 16, but it is what is included in the "expanded APL syndrome" evaluation here.

Good luck in your quest for motherhood
