Live Onsite Class

This course is taught in a classroom setting by a trained CCL teaching couple. The course entails completing the three classes taught in three sequential months, as well as completing two months of personal charting.

The Sympto-Thermal Method is based on changes in a woman’s cervical fluid and basal body temperature, which change in response to the hormones of the menstrual cycle. With this method, a woman takes her temperature at the same time in the morning every day as well as observes her cervical fluid throughout the day and records this information on her chart at the end of each day.

This program is offered in the Archdiocese of Denver in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. For questions about Spanish classes call Centro San Juan Diego: 303-295-9470. It is also offered virtually, if location is restrictive.

Cost: $135 (plus shipping and handling)

This course is taught in a private one-on-one setting, with a trained FertilityCare Practitioner. The Creighton Model Program includes an introductory session and 5 follow up sessions, spanning 3 months. This completes the marriage preparation course portion. The course highly encourages the couple to complete 3 additional follow up sessions after the wedding (with an additional fee). Each private session provides a chart review.

With this method, a woman observes her cervical fluid throughout the day and records this information on her chart at the end of each day.

The Creighton Model also features NaProTECHNOLOGY, which is a new women’s health science. Both the Creighton Model System and NaProTECHNOLOGY provide a medical framework to evaluate and treat a variety of conditions from which women of reproductive age suffer.

This method is highly recommended for women with gynecological problems (such as PMS, ovarian cysts, irregular cycles, PCOS, or endometriosis) or infertility.

This program is offered in the Archdiocese of Denver in English and Spanish.

The Marquette Model is a Hormonal Fertility Monitoring method that uses ovulation test strips and an electronic fertility monitor, such as the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor.  This method has three approaches to the program.  A couple can choose to use either:

1. an electronic hormonal fertility monitor along with a fertility formula to estimate the time of fertility, or
2. cervical fluid monitoring along with a fertility formula to estimate the time of fertility, or
3. the combined use of a hormonal fertility monitor along with cervical mucus as a means to estimate the time of fertility.

Please keep in mind that the fee for the course does not include the cost of the fertility monitor and the monthly cost of ovulation testing strips.
