Why I teach Creighton as an RN
I started to share my story a couple weeks ago. I want to share more how I started teaching Creighton as a Registered Nurse. After I started teaching the introduction to NFP, I started reading more about the different methods . I loved that the Creighton model is based in so much research and that it works with doctors to help women through a variety of health concerns, not just planning and avoiding pregnancy . My husband and I started talking about how we would afford tra

Continuing the Discussion: There is No Rule Book When it Comes to Avoiding
As a practitioner I have been asked many times, "is this a good reason to avoid?" And for a long time I did not know if I could really give a great answer. I know for myself it took me discerning and praying with my husband to make our decision to avoid, but that process may not be as clear cut for everyone. Fo awhile my simple answer was "that is between you (the couple) and God". Honestly I did not feel this was a good enough answer nor was I qualified enough to answer it.

The Creighton Model offered me hope and healing
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. While I was in college, I woke up one night in horrible pain. I convinced my parents to drive me to the urgent care in the morning. I didn’t know how to describe the

You asked, we answered!
We reached out on social media asking what questions you have about Creighton Model, or Natural Family Planning more broadly. Below are your questions and our answers. As always, you can contact one of our Practitioners for more information! "What does using/practicing NFP really mean?" If you are "using" NFP in the most basic sense that means that you are not using any artificial means to regulate or control your fertility (whether physical or chemical ). Rather, you have a
