Abstract
Objective: Severe factor V (FV) deficiency is rare. There are Case Report describing pregnancy outcomes in women with FV deficiency and one case report of successful pregnancy following the use of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in several cycles of ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination and at delivery. The authors report another case to support the use of FFP for reproduction. Case: A 27-year-old woman with severe FV deficiency was given FFP at the time of ovulation induced with clomiphene citrate, human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), and human chorionic gonadotropin. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) was done 35 hours later. She became pregnant with twins and delivered vaginally at 36 weeks of gestation with the prophylactic use of FFP. Conclusion: Fresh frozen plasma can be offered for reproduction to women with severe FV deficiency.
