Mucus-Only Method: Creighton Model
💍⛪👌🏻🥼
- Tell us a little about yourself.Introvert with five siblings, currently in graduate school for my Ph.D.
- What effects has fertility awareness had on your relationship?Learning fertility awareness has definitely helped to strengthen my relationship with my fiance. It's allowed us to communicate in a more intimate manner about different expectations we have going into our marriage.
- How did you find your instructor?I found my instructor through my Napro doctor and was very fortunately not charged for instruction. We've had some initial instruction and will pursue follow ups.
- Describe your daily charting routine.I make observations throughout the day according to the Creighton Model and track cervical mucus. It's was somewhat difficult to get into the routine of checking every single time I went to the bathroom, but it has now become a habit. It's overall been positive, but sometimes if I miss an observation with this method (no one is perfect, right?), it lowers my confidence in the reliability of data upon which I can make a decision when trying to TTC or TTA which can produce some anxiety.
- What made you choose this method?Price and ease of use as well as being referred to a Creighton teacher was a factor as well as the overall ability that charting with Creighton to pinpoint certain patterns that can lead to a better understanding of underlying health factors lead me to this method.
- Has charting helped you to understand your overall health?Absolutely! I'm somewhat early in starting to chart, and with only four cycles charted, my instructor has already identified some potential hormone deficiencies.
