Hello sir and welcome.

Any raise in levels should usually be combatted with medications that help regularise these levels, as they can affect the course of pregnancy. It would thus be advisable to go ahead with the follow up, but in the meantime discuss the benefits of introducing a treatment regimen for these levels as well.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
