Hello
Thanks for your query.
SLE is notorious for being associated with recurrent pregnancy losses.
Please consult a Rheumatologist, and have detailed evaluation and treatment for the SLE.
Please attempt a pregnancy only when the symptoms have abated.
During the pregnancy, and even peri conceptionally, low dose aspirin and heparin should be continued.
It is very unfortunate, but if this scenario continues, you MIGHT have to consider surrogacy as repeated terminations will put your wife at risk also.
All the best.
