Brief Answer:
The levels are increased and suggest increased chances of blood clotting.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your Cardiolipid antibodies are present and the levels have slightly increased in last two months. This is suggestive of an increased tendency of blood clotting and can be responsible for recurrent miscarriages.
This may need treatment with low dose aspirin tablets from the pre - conception period to decrease the chances of blood clotting and repeated miscarriage. Do consult your gynecologist and start with appropriate medicines.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further follow up queries are welcome.
Regards.
