How effective is NFP?
Well-instructed couples who use the CREIGHTON MODEL Fertility
Care™ System correctly can expect 99.1–99.9% effectiveness to
avoid pregnancy and 100% safety. Couples can also expect a 76%
effectiveness in achieving a pregnancy in the first month when
using their days of fertility. This method is very helpful for
couples with low fertility also.
What is cycles are irregular?
Modern NFP does not depend on regular cycles for effectiveness
(as the Rhythm Method did). Because the woman is looking for
changes in her cervical mucus daily, the couple can readily
identify patterns of fertility and infertility even with very
irregular cycles (including breastfeeding and pre-menopause).
How can we learn NFP?
A one-hour group introductory session is held the second
Wednesday of every month. Individual
introductory sessions may also be arranged. The couple may begin
charting right away. After the introductory session, individual
follow-up sessions are scheduled two weeks apart for the first
two months. There are four additional follow-up sessions over
the next ten months. Each session builds upon earlier learning
and experience, and new information is presented such as special
discharges, early ovulation and stress cycles. Because
follow-ups are scheduled individually, they can be paced to best
meet specific needs. An additional benefit of the CREIGHTON
MODEL Fertility Care™ System is the development of a new science
called NaproTechnology. In the process of charting her
fertility, a woman has also created a valuable tool with which
to monitor her gynecological health. The Creighton Model Natural
Family Planning Practitioner will be happy to provide further
information about this exciting new field.
How much does this instruction cost?
The group introductory session is $25 per couple with a $20 fee
for educational materials. Pre-registration and pre-payment are
required for the introductory session to reserve space and to
prevent classes from becoming too large. Included in the
educational materials kit is a user’s manual, chart and stamps.
The fee for each follow-up session is $45. Payment options are:
pay at the time of visit; make arrangements to pay in
installments; or some insurance companies might cover NFP
services (some require referral by a primary care physician).
