What is the Creighton Model System?
- A natural form of fertility awareness developed from 30 years of research
- Standardized observation and charting of a woman's biological markers ("biomarkers")
What are "biomarkers"?
- Bleeding
- Mucus
- Dryness
Why are "biomarkers" important?
- Biomarkers help a woman monitor and maintain her reproductive health. She can also quickly identify abnormalities so she can seek timely medical treatment.
- Biomarkers also indicate to the husband and wife when they are naturally fertile or infertile at any given time so they can choose to use the system to avoid or achieve pregnancy
- Unlike contraceptives the Creighton Model System works cooperatively with the couple's natural fertility process and thus is a shared system for avoiding or achieving pregnancy
Who can use the Creighton Model System?
- Regular or irregular cycles
- Not ovulating
- Breastfeeding
- Premenopause
- Post-Pill
- All women in their reproductive years who want to monitor and maintain their cycles naturally!
