Family planning is an integral part of a couple’s relationship. It is a privilege and responsibility of a couple to lovingly decide when to have children and how many to have.

 

An ideal method of family planning should be highly effective, have no long or short term side effects, have reasonable cost, be morally and aesthetically acceptable, and not cause any damage to natural fertility.  A true method of family planning should enable you to be able to both achieve or avoid pregnancy.

 

It is important to accept that every system of family planning does have a ‘pregnancy rate’. There is no such thing as a 100% guarantee that conception will not occur if you engage in sexual activity. Many couples are surprised at this information. 

 

The Creighton Model System is 99.5% effective when used to avoid pregnancy (Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 1998)

 

This is better than any drug, barrier or device on the market. * see Statistics

When used to achieve pregnancy, 98% of couples with normal fertility achieve a pregnancy within the first 6 cycles with use of the Creighton Model.

 

A significant amount of scientific data has now been published in peer review medical journals and textbooks regarding the scientific foundations of the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System for family planning. Please see references above for more information.
