A member asked:

I got back my doctor given pregnancy test results and it said : positive (abn) what does that abn stand for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lab results: are always flagged as normal or abnormal. In the case of hCG, the "normal," result is negative. Positive hCG levels are flagged by the labs' automated systems as "abnormal," but that says nothing about the normality of your pregnancy. Follow your doctor's recommendations.
