October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. We've talked before about healing after miscarriage and have shared husbands' experiences of loss. We also gave suggestions on how to support a friend after a miscarriage . Today, let's talk about what NOT to say to a friend or family member who is experiencing a pregnancy loss. 1. "How can I help?" You might be saying, excuse me what? How is this not supportive?! Let me explain. The person saying this really has their

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 .

Her ovaries no longer release eggs nor do they produce the hormones that she’s been accustomed to for so many years. She can no longer get pregnant.

When learning about the Creighton Model System you probably hear what it's all about from a Practitioner or a doctor. Although those sources are definitely very helpful and give great information. Why not hear what it's like to use the system from a woman who uses the system and her experience? Everyone's experience is different with the CrMS.
