The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System is a powerful fertility awareness method (FAM) that empowers women and couples to understand their reproductive health—naturally and effectively. Whether you’re trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy, or uncover the root causes of hormonal imbalances, Creighton offers a structured, science-based alternative to conventional hormonal treatments.
What Is the Creighton Model?
- The Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS) is a standardized method of charting biomarkers of the menstrual cycle, especially cervical mucus, to monitor fertility and gynecological health.
- It was developed from the Billings Ovulation Method and is tightly integrated with NaProTECHNOLOGY—a breakthrough medical approach to treating infertility and reproductive disorders.
How the Creighton Model Works
Women learn to observe and record changes in cervical mucus, which reflects hormonal activity throughout the cycle. These signs are charted using a standardized system that has been medically validated and used globally for over 30 years.
Key components:
- Daily observation of cervical mucus (sensation and appearance)
- Standardized charting system with specific codes
- Taught one-on-one by a trained FertilityCare Practitioner
- Regular follow-up sessions for education and personalized support
Why Choose the Creighton Model?
✅ Natural and hormone-free
✅ Scientifically validated with decades of research
✅ Up to 96.8% effective for avoiding pregnancy with perfect use
✅ Supports conception by identifying fertile days and detecting ovulation
✅ Detects early signs of health issues like PCOS, endometriosis, or luteal phase defect
✅ Integrates seamlessly with NaProTECHNOLOGY for medical diagnosis and treatment
What Is NaProTECHNOLOGY?
NaProTECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology) is a reproductive science that works in conjunction with the Creighton Model. It uses chart data to diagnose and treat:
- Infertility and subfertility
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Endometriosis
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Postpartum depression
Unlike IVF, NaPro seeks to restore reproductive health, not bypass it.

- Couples trying to conceive naturally
- Women struggling with irregular cycles, miscarriage, or infertility
- Anyone seeking a natural alternative to birth control
- Postpartum, breastfeeding, or perimenopausal women
- Women with PCOS, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility
