A negative fFN test result is generally reassuring and suggests that the likelihood of delivering within the next two weeks is very low. A positive test result, on the other hand, indicates that there is a higher risk of preterm labor, but it does not guarantee that preterm birth will occur. Positive results often necessitate closer monitoring and may lead to interventions aimed at delaying labor, such as corticosteroids to mature the fetal lungs or medications to inhibit contractions.
