To confirm a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, the antibodies must appear in your blood at least twice, in tests conducted 12 or more weeks apart. One positive test is not definitive. There is risk in taking anti-coagulants. It would be okay to follow your doctor's advice and stay in touch with her/him.
