Worldwide FertilityCare Week 2026: How The Creighton Method Allows You to be Simply You

This week, we celebrate Worldwide FertilityCare Week 2026 - a week where we celebrate all things Creighton Method and NaProTECHNOLOGY! This year’s theme is “Simply You.” So, how does the Creighton Method encourage women to be simply themselves? Women’s bodies speak a unique language, and the Creighton Model FertilityCare System is one of the most empowering ways you can learn how to listen. It’s not just a form of natural family planning; Creighton is a standardized system for observing and charting biological markers—specifically cervical mucus patterns—that reflect a woman’s hormonal and reproductive health in real time. Here are some ways that the Creighton Method allows you to be “Simply You”:

1. The most important investment you’ll ever make: once you learn how to chart your cycles, it is a skill and tool that you can use for life! Charting also encourages communication and growth between spouses, and is often referred to as “marital insurance.”

2. Understand your fertility by learning how to read what your body is saying through the Creighton Model FertilityCare System: through charting, you can discover your body’s natural rhythms and response to stress, learn your cycle patterns (or lack thereof), identify when you’re fertile & infertile, and uncover certain biomarkers that may indicate underlying reproductive health issues.

3. Take care of and restore fertility as needed with NaProTECHNOLOGY: if concerning biomarkers are found through charting, your FertilityCare Practitioner can refer you to a NaPro provider for diagnosis & treatment in a way that cooperates with the woman’s body and restores reproductive health.

4. See the goodness and beauty of women’s fertility in any vocation: whether you’re single, married, or religious, using the Creighton Model allows women to appreciate the beautiful intricate design that the Lord has given women in their fertility and cycles. This realization allows women to treat their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit throughout all the various times of their cycles, seasons of life, and vocations.

5. No third party directing your intimacy: FertilityCare Practitioners teach women and couples which days are fertile or infertile based on cervical mucus, and therefore, guide them in choosing which days to select for intercourse depending on the intention to achieve or avoid a pregnancy. This knowledge gives the couple the freedom to decide which days they want to be intimate based on their desire to try to conceive or not at that time. There are no IVF or Fertility Specialists telling you & your spouse when to and when not to have sex.

6. Most accurate form of naturally family planning/birth control methods: The Creighton Model has a method effectiveness (perfect use) rate of 99.5%, and a use effectiveness (typical use) rate of 96.8% for avoiding pregnancy. The rate of acheiving pregnancy after one cycle of charting and trying to conceive is 70%, 90% after three cycles of trying, and 98% after six cycles! That’s higher than any other form of NFP or birth control or IVF method!

7. Freedom from refills and unnecessary medical interventions; no need to medicate, implant, or change: since Creighton cooperates with a woman’s natural fertility cycles, there is no need for birth control pills/refills/implants or extensive fertility treatments like IVF to monitor cycles, avoid or achieve pregnancy, plan your family, or assess & monitor your reproductive health. 

8. You’ll never outgrow the Creighton Method: Creighton was designed to be used throughout your reproductive life and can be used from puberty through menopause!

9. In a world full of electronic gadgets, keep your connection with your spouse and loved ones using SPICE: strengthen your marriage and relationships through the SPICE that Creighton offers; it encourages you to grow Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Creatively/Communicatively, and Emotionally.

10. Honor the dignity of life by living out God’s perfect design for your fertility: the Creighton Method and NaProTECHNOLOGY completely align with Catholic church teaching, so you never have to question if your charting and/or NaPro care and treatments are morally sound.
