I would not worry: Labs like these, at these levels, are common in healthy people. As a pathologist, i'd urge you not to "treat lab values", but do whatever it takes to fulfill your dream of being a mother if that is what you want.

Not relevant: Don't make your decision based on a lab test. You may never develope any autoimmune problem. The lab tests increase your risk but not enough to be a deciding factor.
