Effectiveness in avoiding pregnancy
AVOID PREGNANCY
When used to avoid pregnancy, the Creighton Model is highly successful in its goals. In a major study of method and use effectiveness to avoid pregnancy which was published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine (1998), 1876 couples used this approach for a total of 17,130 months of use in 5 different centres.
The method effectiveness to avoid pregnancy was 99.5%. This is equal to or better than any contraceptive measure, hormone or device on the market.

In an age when couples are commonly unaware of how fertility works or specifically how to pinpoint days of fertility, the Creighton Model is critical.
With researched and proven high accuracy, it enables identification of which day ovulation is likely to occur, as well as which other days of fertility are present because of the cervical mucus ‘biomarker’.
