Positive FFN

LaneCALaneCA
in Pregnant after IF

Long story short - I ended up in L&D last night for contractions. They were a few minutes apart on their monitor. They did the FFN test and it was positive (but, they warned me, it is always positive if there is some blood....which I have had).

Contractions lessened over a few hours and they decided against giving me any meds, or an IV. I'm just supposed to stop working and cut out all stress, stay off my feet, etc.

Has anyone tested positive for FFN and things were OK? My cervix has shortened and the babies have dropped, but for now, my cervix is closed.

    Ditto to majcordova. Negative ffn but got steroid shots. My cervix is 2.9 when baby a is behaving but as soon as she snuggles up to my cervix it shot down to 2.3.

    I asked for the p17 shots too & it could be in my head but I really feel like the are helping the contractions.

    Good luck!!!

    I'm sorry for the scary news. I received a positive FFN at 29 weeks. I also had dropped and had a shortened cervix. I was given the steroid shots. But here I am at 39 weeks, still pregnant! I think the FFN test is actually pretty inaccurate. It's used for the negative result, but even among those who receive a positive result, most still won't deliver early. T&Ps that your babes stay inside for many more weeks!

    Thank you ladies for all of your feedback :) I may ask about the P17 shots, but we noticed a serious drop in contractions when I was laying down vs. sitting. I think baby A is just reeeeeallly low. I feel like he could stick his hand out and wave at me sometimes.

    Nicolee and Cbubbles -- thank you so much for your support!! I hope these babies stay cooking a lot longer as well :)

    I would def. ask for P17 and make sure the Stanford MFMs stay on top of the monitoring.  I def. blame them in some ways for my loss.

    GL to you...I hope you are able to keep your babies in for many weeks to come.
