Daria and Karoline have shared how the Creighton model has impacted their lives. I want to share my own journey. My cycles were always irregular. I had what I thought were “light periods” of brown bleeding very often. Only some months would I have periods. It was confusing, but I didn’t know what to do about it.

We haven't interviewed a client on our blog since last summer and we thought it was time again to check in with some real-life Creighton Model users and ask them about their experience using CrMS. I had the privilege of asking 2 long-time clients of mine about their experience and feedback. Both of these wonderful women have been charting for nearly 5 years. They started using CrMS before marriage and have navigated health challenges, NaPro interventions, babies, miscarriag
