Unexplained Infertility and a Positive ANA
A positive ANA (antinuclear antibody) test in the context of unexplained infertility suggests a potential autoimmune component contributing to the difficulty in conceiving, although further investigation is needed as a positive ANA alone doesn't definitively diagnose an autoimmune disease and may not always be linked to infertility issue.
Additional Tests are Needed:
Possible Further Blood Tests:
- Antiphospholipid antibodies
- Thyroid antibodies
- Anti-sperm antibodies

It is possible your infertility is linked to an untreated underlying autoimmune disease. Treatment options may include managing underlying autoimmune conditions with medication, immune-modulatory therapies, or addressing specific concerns identified through further investigation.
