The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System (CrMS) relies upon the standardized observation and charting of biological markers essential to a woman’s health and fertility. These biomarkers tell the couple when they are naturally fertile and infertile, allowing the couple to use the system either to achieve or to avoid pregnancy, as well as telegraph abnormalities in the woman’s health. Learn more about the model here: www.creightonmodel.com

CrMS is a standardized modification of the Billings Ovulation Method. It is built on research, education and service (the “triangle of support” for the CrMS user) and is an integrated educational system designed to assure the highest quality service delivery possible for the FertilityCare Practitioner and the client couple.

The CrMS is also the basis for the new women’s health science, NaProTechnology (natural procreative technology). Learning takes place through a series of private follow-ups by a FertilityCare Practitioner after an Introductory Session is attended. NaProTechnology can assist with other fertility factors.

The introductory session lasts about 1-hour and costs $30, plus an additional $45 for materials.

Each follow-up session is $45. No one in our diocese is turned away due to lack of funds; please do not hesitate to ask. Postpartum and premenopause sessions are also available.

Practitioners accompany each woman (or couple) privately and personally. Learning the Creighton Model System requires attending an introductory session and a minimum of 4 follow-up sessions within a 3-month period. However, it is strongly recommended clients attend all 8 follow-up sessions, which are completed within a year’s time. 

Learning the Creighton Model System requires attending an Introductory Session and a series of follow-up teaching sessions. The reason for this is fairly simple. The system is tailor-made for use by each individual couple. This is done through a series of teaching sessions conducted in association with a trained FertilityCare™ Practitioner or FertilityCare™ Practitioner Intern. These teachers are trained in a 13-month Allied Health Education Program which is designed to help them meet the client’s needs.

The system for teaching the CrMS has been designed with the clients in mind. The client couple receives individual attention in a system of organized follow-up. The client couple attends an Introductory Session which is specifically designed to introduce them to be users of the System. The introductory slide presentation usually lasts approximately one hour. With the scheduling of appointments following the Introductory Session, the entire session will take approximately 90 minutes.
