Parents who have struggled with infertility have shared their inspiring journeys through a national essay contest.

(NAPSI)—Are you a parent with a story to tell about overcoming infertility? Your success may inspire those struggling to conceive. For the past seven years, parents have shared their inspiring journeys through the national “My Little Miracle Essay Contest.” Winners receive education funds to support their child’s future.

Patients who have conceived and given birth using BRAVELLE® (urofollitropin for injection, purified) and/or MENOPUR® (menotropins for injection, USP)-fertility products marketed by Ferring Pharmaceuticals-have the opportunity to win a $10,000 education fund by entering the “My Little Miracle Essay Contest.” Ferring is also awarding a $7,500 education fund for the second-place winner and $5,000 for the third-place winner.

To enter the contest, write a brief essay, “If I Knew Then What I Know Now,” explaining what advice you would give to other couples who are coping with infertility and how you would describe your success using BRAVELLE and/or MENOPUR as part of your treatment plan.

Essays must be postmarked by January 31, 2012. For more details and entry forms, visit www.ferringfertility.com or call (203) 762-8833 and ask for the “My Little Miracle” contest representative.

MENOPUR and BRAVELLE are prescription medicines that contain hormones and are used for women who are going to have in vitro fertilization. Do not use MENOPUR or BRAVELLE if you have ovaries that are not able to make eggs even with help; are pregnant or think you may be pregnant; have problems with your thyroid gland or adrenal gland that are not controlled by taking medicine; have cancer in your female organs (ovaries, breasts, uterus); have a tumor of your pituitary gland or other tumor in your brain; or have heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding and the cause is not known.
