Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
SLE is associated with multiple joint pains and steroids and disease modifying agents may be needed. This does not affect the married life or your chances of conceiving a baby but you will need to be extra cautious and consult your gynecologist regarding the medicines that you can safely continue during pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
