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

Before starting this blog, I want to wish you a very happy Independence Day to you and your family.

In my previous post I talked about infertility and the psychological impact it has on women and couples. Truly it can feel like you are climbing the highest mountain and it is such a journey to get to the top. Psychologically you are feeling the ups and the downs, the anger, the confusion and frustration, as well as filled with so much hope for your future family. Your mind and heart experience a lot on the battle field of infertility. Today I would like to touch on another

Isn’t NFP just for engaged and married couples? It’s just for avoiding and achieving pregnancy, right? While the Creighton model can reliably be used to avoid and achieve pregnancy, those are not the only reasons why women begin charting. There are many benefits to charting as a single woman . But how can this method help teenage girls specifically? Teenage girls have just begun cycling. When I was younger, I learned about my period, including how to manage the bleeding and

What is an abnormal chart and what does it mean?
