Learning the language of fertility together fosters communication, mutual respect, and a deeper appreciation for the gift of the human person. Instruction also provides an opportunity to strengthen the five areas of marital intimacy represented by SPICE: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Creative/Communicative, and Emotional intimacy. By beginning marriage with a shared understanding of fertility, couples build a foundation of trust, openness, and unity while embracing God’s design for married love.

Infertility is often a symptom, not the diagnosis. The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system serves as the foundation for NaProTECHNOLOGY, a restorative medical approach that seeks to identify and treat the underlying causes of infertility while fully respecting the natural act of procreation. Conditions such as ovulation disorders, hormonal deficiencies, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), limited cervical mucus, and male factor infertility can often be identified through careful evaluation and individualized treatment. Our goal is not simply pregnancy, but restored reproductive health.

The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system precisely identifies the days of peak fertility, helping couples optimize their chances of conception. If pregnancy does not occur as expected, your chart becomes a powerful diagnostic tool for a trained physician, helping identify and treat underlying causes rather than simply bypassing them.

The loss of a child is a profound sorrow, and you should never have to walk that journey alone. Creighton FertilityCare™ charting can identify biomarkers that suggest underlying hormonal or reproductive concerns. Working alongside a NaProTECHNOLOGY physician, many treatable causes, including progesterone deficiency and other cycle abnormalities, can be evaluated to support a healthier pregnancy in the future.

The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system provides a scientifically standardized way to identify fertile and infertile days, allowing couples to responsibly avoid pregnancy, by learning to work together through fertility-focused intercourse, while fully respecting God's design for marriage and the dignity of the human person.

Severe cramps, heavy bleeding, PMS, and other menstrual symptoms are not simply something you have to endure. The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system helps objectively document these symptoms so that NaProTECHNOLOGY physicians can investigate and treat the underlying causes, often improving both reproductive and overall health.

When appropriate, physicians trained in NaProTECHNOLOGY may utilize Targeted Hormone Profiles, hormone testing timed to the individual woman’s cycle and her specific biomarkers rather than relying on a single, arbitrary data point. Just as one data point does not create a trend, one hormone value taken without the context of the woman’s cycle may not provide a complete picture of her health. By combining detailed fertility charting with appropriately timed hormone evaluation, NaProTECHNOLOGY seeks to identify and treat the underlying causes of hormonal concerns

The return of fertility after childbirth is unique for every woman. The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system offers clear guidelines for understanding postpartum fertility while breastfeeding, allowing couples to navigate this season with confidence and peace of mind.

Through Creighton Model FertilityCare™ charting, women can monitor important biomarkers of their reproductive health and identify patterns that may provide valuable insight into hormonal changes affecting their physical and emotional well-being. When clinically indicated, NaProtechnology physicians who work with Creighton Model FertilityCare™ charts, may utilize a progesterone protocol to support women experiencing postpartum depression. Many women report experiencing significant relief from symptoms within hours of beginning progesterone therapy, offering hope and support during a vulnerable season of motherhood.

Your fertility is often considered a “fifth vital sign” of women’s health. The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system provides a standardized record of your reproductive health that can be used throughout your life to monitor changes, identify concerns early, and support informed medical decision-making. By learning to understand the signs and patterns of their own cycles, women become more informed participants in their healthcare and empowered to advocate for themselves when seeking answers. This knowledge allows women to partner more confidently with their healthcare providers, bringing valuable information and a deeper understanding of their unique health history to the conversation.
