Chapter 84: Role of FertilityCare Practitioner

This chapter describes the role of the CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare Practitioner (FCP) in NaProTECHNOLOGY, whose training helps CREIGHTON MODEL System (CrMS) clients create an accurate chart that can reveal patterns indicating underlying gynecological conditions. The chapter lists the FCP's responsibilities to the client, including instruction in the CrMS, a letter to the Pope Paul VI Institute or a local CREIGHTON MODEL Medical Consultant after two full cycles of charting, interpretation of the chart for timing blood work and treatment, and ongoing support. The chapter also describes how NaProTECHNOLOGY can be provided by long distance through the Pope Paul VI Institute when there is no local Medical Consultant, and how an FCP's letter can assist a local Medical Consultant who has limited experience interpreting chart patterns. The FertilityCare Center of Central Texas reports writing more than 150 letters to the Pope Paul VI Institute over 10 years and estimates that at least 80 percent of clients who completed a NaProTECHNOLOGY evaluation and subsequent treatment had successful results, illustrated with six case stories.
