Thanks for the query
It is very difficult to say if she in particular will hav trouble conceiving but yes patients with sle can have a complication during pregnancy but some do fare well if she is following up with doctors regulary
She is on the right track of treatment, she should not stop wyselone on her own
Have a healthy living
