If you have not had further testing done beyond the ANA, I would definitely recommend it. If there is a clotting issue, it can be dealt with before you get pregnant again. Good Luck. Hope this helps!

P.S. If you got information from Dr. Beers website concerning immune problems - take it with a grain of salt. I found that website before getting pregnant again this time and was convinced I didn't have a prayer of carrying another child again. Both my specialist and OB have told me that Dr. Beer is not in the "norm" as far as medical advice goes.
