Hello, Six months ago, because of a hand rash, I made an ANA test which was 1:80 positive (FANA methode). Anti-rnp was bordering 1:0, but the U1-rnp was negative. The other results of a complete ANA test were also negative. (CCP, IgG-abs, ds-DNA-ab, chromatine abs, SS-A/Ro(60kD), La/SS-B, Sm (B'B/D), U1-RNP/SM, Scl-70, Jo-1/Histidyl-tRNA-Synthet., Ribosomal P-protein abs, c-ANCA, p-ANCA, Cardiolipin-Ig-(G/M/A), B2-glycoprot.-1-ab, Lupus-anticoagulant, MAK/TPO-abs - all negative). I made a check up now and the results for ANA remain the same (1:80), the anti-rnp is little over border line 1.1 (border line is 1.0) and U1-rnp is again negative. Doctors say that I do not have a autoimmune disease at the moment. But still I'm afraid to get pregnant because of the risks that positive ANA carries along and because I read that after pregnancy the results could worsen, in my case I am afraid that pregnancy could be a trigger for developing an autoimmune disease. I would be greatful to read some of your opinions. Many thanks in advance
