The Introductory Session

The first step to charting is to attend an Introductory Session, presented by our trained FertilityCare practitioners. The session teaches the scientific foundations and basic instructions for using the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System.

We offer private, virtual introductory sessions for any woman or couple (both local and those who are not local to the D.C. area.) who wishes to learn how to chart with the Creighton Model System. Our practitioners work virtually on a regular basis with those who are not local to the D.C. area.

If you are interested in scheduling a private introductory session, please contact Beth at bethberard.cfc@gmail.com or click here to schedule a session directly. The cost for the introductory session is $150, and this price includes the session, charting materials, and shipping.

The Follow-Up Sessions

At the conclusion of the CrMS Introductory Session, you will schedule a follow-up session and receive materials to begin charting. The majority of the instruction in the CrMS takes place during these sessions in order to tailor instruction to your particular reproductive needs.

You will meet with your practitioner 5 times in the first 3 months of learning the system. From there, 3 longer term followups finish out a year of instruction. Meeting more frequently initially helps women to gain confidence in making observations and in the overall use of the system, whereas meeting long term insures proper instruction and use of the system to your needs. After the first year of instruction it is also recommended that clients meet with their practitioner every six to twelve months or as their reproductive needs change.

The Materials

A CrMS Materials Package can be purchased at the Introductory Session upon booking the first follow-up appointment. This package contains the necessary components needed for a client to begin charting, including:

• General Intake Form
• 1 CrMS chart, which holds
  6 months of cycles
• 1 sample package of stamps,
  necessary for charting
• 1 Introductory Booklet

Please contact a practitioner to schedule a CrMS Introductory Session and to receive additional information on pricing of classes and materials.

A special note for infertility clients

In most cases, in order to see a NaProTECHNOLOGY^® trained Medical Consultant a client must have two months of NaProTRACKING^® charts with a certified CrMS FertilityCare™ Practitioner. Infertility clients will follow the same protocol listed above to learn the CrMS. Practitioners will then assist clients with the referral process of seeing a medical consultant locally, working long distance with a medical consultant virtually, or Dr. Hilgers at the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha, NE.
