Hi again WP - I do NOT have a clotting disorder, so no, not everyone with SLE also has problems with clotting. I'm also on birth control - I use a low-dose version, which everyone on my healthcare team has okayed, but your doc sounds like they are on the ball, so probably best to check in with them.
I know this may sound trite, but try not to worry too much about what the future holds. With SLE all you can do is take one day at a time and educate yourself so that you are an effective advocate for your own health. Once you've met one person with lupus... You've met one person with lupus. We're all different, and so your experience will be unique.
If you are learning from online sources, you should also keep in mind that many people posting are posting precisely because they are unwell and looking for answers, so it's not really a representative group, and a lot of the online stuff is out of date, and so a bit scary - the treatment options are really getting a lot better....
Cheers,
Lisa
