How do you approach anticoagulation in a woman with SLE who is planning pregnancy, has persistently positive isolated anticardiolipin IgA and anti-β2 glycoprotein I IgA antibodies and a prior history of a provoked DVT after prolonged air travel?

I consider persistently positive IgA anticardiolipin and anti-β2 glycoprotein antibodies just as relevant as IgG/IgM subclasses. Moreover, phosphatidylserine antibodies are also relevant, if this patient could be tested for that as well.
