See details: First of all, see a rheumatologist if you have not done so already. While an ANA can often be positive in hashimoto's it is much more unusual for the dna to be positive. Since you do not list your symptoms, it is impossible to offer a more specific opinion.

See below: These tests can be false positives in pregnancy. Your rheumatologist is going look at your other labs such as kidney function and your symptoms to make a determination. Sometimes the rheumatologist may retest the labs through a different reference lab.

Neg ana. Anti ds DNA indeterminate (value 6) 0-4 neg, 5-9 indeterminate, 10+ pos. All other labs normal. Possible lupus? No real other symptoms.
Pos ANA x 5yr now neg, but ds-DNA same indeterminate at 9 x same 5yr. Always told it was lupus but doesnt seem like it. Pain is always nerve or muscle now. What is ANA neg with indeterminate ds-DNA? What other labs are needed? CBC, UA, CMP WNL.
Lab tests showed the following: ANA w/titre & pattern 1:320 and a thyroid peroxidase ab 484.0...Could high ANA be because of positive hashimoto's?
