So I'm rh- and I knew that but doctor told me I hv tested positive for anibodies which is not to common I guess.. they just ran more lab to check if the numbers went up or not. I still get my shot in 4 weeks but might need more attention.. Anyone been through this?

When did it show up positive?   How far along were you when they tested you for it?  Keep us updated about your results from the recent draw.  Im kinda worried about this for myself as well.

Did you have a baby recently or a miscarriage after which you received the shot?  Apparently you can get a false positive if you've recently received the shot.  That's what my dr told me when mine came back positive,  im really hoping that he's right.

Tigerlily - rh = rhesus (the rhesus factor of your blood). When you're rhesus negative, u need anti-D injections if u ever have a stomach injury, bleeding & when giving birth ;-)
