Keep in mind that it is the HDL/LDL ratio that is the key indicator. For instance, in LCer's case above, even though here LDL went up 12 points while her HDL went up 9 points, here HDL/LDL ratio went from 0.267 to 0.308 (and increase of 15%).
And, if you do see your LDL go up enough to degrade your HDL/LDL ratio, be sure to have the LDL broken down further. There are different types and some of them are beneficial and not of concern if they go up. There is detailed information about this in DANDR.
