There is a very high incidence of elevated CA 125 without any cancer. Your level is below the range seen in ovarian cancers. Visit the following site for info and talk to your doctor as all lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1587297/#:~:text=In%2075.7%25%20of%20benign%20tumors,%25)%20with%20malignant%20ovarian%20tumors.
