Brief Answer:
Ana positive disease

Detailed Answer:
good evening

thank you for writing on health care magic

ANA positive can be vary variable. it can be present in normal population as well with around 5 to 10 percent population. and since she has thyroid disease it can be positive again. I would like to ask you a few query to guide you further:

1. what is the titre of ANA positivity?

2. did they do ENA profile/ Lupus anticoagulant antibody or anticardiolipin antibody for you? as they are common causes of recurrent abortions

3. did you try conceiving normally before going for ivf? or did she have recurrent miscarriage?

4. any other symptoms of hair fall , oral ulcers, rashes, photosensitivity?

do let me know these query. would give me a further clue on where exactly the things are going wrong

regards
