MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE®:
Only 1 shot a day.

MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE® are highly effective medications that contain the human hormones that can help you become pregnant. Developed to supplement your body’s own hormones, they have proven to have helped countless women around the world conceive.

Often used separately, MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE® can also be mixed together in the same syringe while maintaining the medicinal reliability of the dose (known as bioactivity)1. So unlike other treatments that can require 2, sometimes even 3, shots a day, using MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE® means you’ll need only 1 shot per day.

One injection a day is what women want, according to a survey among members of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. Of the 79% of women who reported being prescribed more than 1 medication per day*, 92% said they would have preferred getting those medications in a single injection.**

You are invited to learn more about MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE®, then ask your physician if a mixed-protocol, 1-injection-a-day solution using MENOPUR® and BRAVELLE® is right for you.

ENDOMETRIN®: Progesterone designed with you in mind.

Progesterone is a natural hormone often prescribed for women undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment.  Progesterone is one of the hormones essential for helping you to become and to stay pregnant.

ENDOMETRIN® is a vaginal insert that contains the hormone progesterone. The dose of ENDOMETRIN® is one insert placed in the vagina 2 or 3 times a day, for up to a total of 10 weeks. ENDOMETRIN® was shown to support excellent pregnancy rates in the largest IVF trial ever conducted in the United States with 1211 patients.2

We invite you to learn more about ENDOMETRIN® and to ask your doctor if ENDOMETRIN® may be right for you.
