Could it be fFN - Michelle
[ In Reply To ..]Could it be fFN
Is there a concern for preterm labor? Does any of this sound like what is in the report?
fFN
Formal name: fetal fibronectin
How is it used?
Many pregnant women experience symptoms that suggest preterm labor. These may include uterine contractions, changes in vaginal discharge, backaches, pelvic pressure, cramping, and cervical dilation. However, not all symptomatic women will actually have a preterm delivery.
What does the test result mean?
A positive fFN result is not very predictive of preterm labor and delivery. However, a negative fFN result is highly predictive that preterm delivery will not occur within the next 2 weeks.
