What is the Creighton Model System (CrMS)?
In order to be treated using NaProTECHNOLOGY, a woman will be required to learn to chart her menstrual cycle using the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System (CrMS).
The Creighton Model System is a standardized method of charting a woman’s menstrual cycle where she is taught to track her cervical mucus discharge and bleeding patterns.
Many women with healthy reproductive systems learn to chart using the Creighton model to help them achieve a pregnancy
and/or to avoid a pregnancy when necessary.
Over 30 years research has been done on the CrMS at the St. Paul VI Institute in Omaha, NE. CrMS is the basis for NaProTECHNOLOGY.

Biomarkers of the Creighton Model Charting System
Lecture by Dr. Theresa Hilger's teaching about the biomarkers used to interpret the Creighton Model charts. Do your patients have irregular menstrual cycles, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, recurrent miscarriages, premenstrual spotting, tail-end brown bleeding, or are they having trouble getting pregnant? If so, NaProTECHNOLOGY can help you help them.
FIVE Biomarkers:
1. Length of menstrual cycle
2. Pre-Peak phase
3. Post-Peak phase
4. Mucus cycle scoring
5. Unusual Bleeding
BLEEDING KEY: How do I Measure Volume of Period Flow?
I will be asking you to tell me very specifically how much you are bleeding. An example of a "detailed flow" is: M, M, H, L, L, VL/B
TAMPON or PADS:
- Very Heavy (VH): changing every 1-2 hours
- Heavy (H): changing every 3-4 hours
- Moderate (M): changing every 5-7 hours
- Light (L): changing every 8-12 hours
- Very Light (VL): changing less frequently than every 12 hours.
MENSTRUAL CUP MEASUREMENTS
- Very Heavy (VH): 60 cc in a 24 hours
- Heavy (H): 40 cc in 24 hours
- Moderate (M): 20 cc in 24 hours
- Light (L): 10 cc in 24 hours
- Very Light (VL): 5 cc in 24 hours
**The Diva Cup comes in 20, 30 and 32 ml cups 32 being the largest but other cups may vary. 1 ml = roughly 1 cc
Other important information about your flow:
- Tail End Brown Bleeding (TEBB): brown bleeding at tail end of period.
- Premenstrual bleeding: pink spotting or brown spotting at the prior to a full period starting.
- Intermenstrual bleeding: bleeding between periods.
Add SPICE to your relationship!
I feel loved.....
Spiritually when...
Physically when...
Intellectually when...
Creatively & Communicatively when...
Emotionally when ...
NaPro providers and Fertility Care Practitioners believe deeply that true "authentic" love is physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual, and that these components are inseparable.
We believe that contraception, in any form, harms the woman (and couple) on a very deep spiritual and emotional level, albiet this wound often goes completely unnoticed on the conscious level.
I encourage all of my patients regardless of age and/or relationship status to read the book below. It describes our belief about authentic love. Almost all women (and men) who have taken this advice express a strong desire to have this kind of love.
Men, Women and the Mystery of Love, by Dr. Edward Sri, S.T.D
Dr. Sri brilliantly summarizes JPII's encyclical "Love and Responsibility" and his subsequent teachings from "Theology of the Body" to explain to couples the difference between "authentic love" (a deep and sacrificial love directed towards the whole person) and a more superficial love limited to physical expression. During the CrMS program through SPICE, couples are taught to recognize the difference between actions that express "authentic love" (ie: sexual contact) from actions that express physical love (ie: genital contact).
