Pregnancy & Factor V Leiden

After they become pregnant, many women find out they have FVL or Pregnancy Aquired Thrombophilia. When they are given this diagnosis, there are many questions and fears that come to mind-

Does having FVL automatically make this a high risk pregnancy?

What if I'm put on Lovenox shots? How do I stick myself in the stomach?

Could FVL contribute to a lost pregnancy?

For pregnant women who join our support group, or members of our group who become pregnant, we usually recommend they join the FVL-PG support group.

In existence since 1999, this group provides support and information for women who have FVL and are pregnant, and never have we had any negative feedback about the messages or management.
