CREIGHTON FERTILITY CARE SYSTEM
It is “an authentic language of a woman’s health and fertility”. The Creighton Model is based upon couple’s knowledge and understanding of their naturally-occurring phases of fertility and infertility. Creighton Model is a standardized system of observation of the fertility signs (menstrual flow, cervical mucus flow, dry days).These signs, biological markers are charted by women for gynecological health maintenance and by couples to achieve or to avoid pregnancy. The woman’s observation is charted at the end of each day. At any given time a couple is in position to know their fertile and infertile days in each menstrual cycle. Through this understanding, the couple is able to make decisions (choices) regarding the achievement or avoidance of pregnancy.
There is nothing more precise that Creighton Model in identifying time of fertility in woman’s menstrual cycle. Creighton Model provides women the added benefit of being able to monitor and maintain their procreative and gynecologic health over a lifetime. The biomarkers also identify abnormalities in a woman’s health. With the few minutes of daily observation a woman has incredible insight into the function of her body. Creighton Model is truly the only family planning system which has networked family planning with gynecologic and procreative healthcare and health maintenance. Creighton Model charts are becoming the best gynecological health records a woman can keep. Creighton Model Fertility Care System is a foundation of NaProTechnology (Natural Procreative Technology).
