Is it safe to get pregnant with a hemoglobin level of 10.6? i have thalassemia and lupus and want to get pregnant.

It can be : You need high risk OB to follow you. People with lupus can get pregnant but it depends on the manifestations. There are guidelines but you need to see your rheumatologist, hematologist and high risk ob.

It's a good start: For lupus, it's ideal to go without a flare for at least six months before conceiving. Before you start trying, it's worth seeing a maternal fetal medicine doctor who can look over your records and make sure you are on medicines that are ok in early pregnancy. It would also be good to test your partner to see if he's a thalassemia carrier.
