When most people think of Creighton Model Fertility Care they think "NFP" and "family planning" and "marriage preparation". Those are all valid but one of the beautiful things about Fertility Care is that it goes far beyond these applications and is about true women's health for a reproductive lifetime .

The Creighton Model System is all about charting mucus . But what is mucus and why does it matter? Why do we care so much about charting it? Buckle up for a mini anatomy and physiology lesson as I nerd out about mucus. First off, what is mucus? Mucus is a hydrogel (a water based gel). It contains a lot of water, by a lot I mean 92-95%. Once we get to ovulation, that water content increases to 98%. Mucus is produced in the cervix. The cervix is part of the uterus. If we think
