Creighton Model

This system helps you better understand your body, identify health issues and plan your family.

When used to prevent pregnancy, the Creighton Model has an effectiveness rate of 96.8%. It helps you avoid pregnancy naturally without disrupting your hormones like other forms of birth control. It can also help with health before pregnancy, during pregnancy, after having a baby, while breastfeeding and before menopause.

The Creighton Model aligns with the Catholic faith.

How it Works

The Creighton Model teaches you to observe and chart specific biological signs, such as cervical mucus patterns, that indicate when you are fertile or infertile throughout your cycle.

After charting around six menstrual cycles, your provider will work with you to help you understand what those signs indicate, whether it's recognizing issues or knowing when you and your spouse are most likely to conceive.

These two systems work together to help you manage your reproductive health. The Creighton Model gives you information about your fertility, helping you understand your body. NaPro uses the information collected from your Creighton Model charting to identify difficult-to-diagnose gynecological issues and offers advanced medical and surgical treatments.

The treatments are designed to correct your body and return it to its natural state. Together, they create a solid foundation for you and your health care provider to identify and correct reproductive health concerns.

What to Expect

You will meet with one of our qualified fertility care practitioners – a specially trained health care provider – for an introductory session. Your spouse is invited to attend, too.

The first appointment can last up to an hour and a half. You don't need to bring anything; you'll receive the necessary materials at the appointment. After that, you'll meet for an hour every other week until appointments are reduced to once a month. Appointments are flexible to accommodate your schedule.

After six months, you’ll be trained to track on your own, and the regular appointments will end. Our providers prefer to have six months of tracking before attempting to diagnose any issues.
