Helping you achieve peak wellness by tracking your cycle using the Marquette Method.
What is the Marquette Method?
The Marquette Method is an evidence-based approach of Natural Family Planning (NFP) taught by Registered Nurses & Physicians. Urine fertility biomarkers are collected at home using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor & Test Sticks which measure hormone levels. This information is then used to either achieve or avoid pregnancy, and is also a great way to monitor your health. When applied correctly with an instructor, it is 98% effective in avoiding pregnancy.
Why use this method?
Ease of use over other methods: How does it work? Test your urine hormones at home during a specific time in your cycle and record it in your chart. An algorithm is then applied to establish your fertile window. Other biomarkers such a mucus observations & temperature taking are not necessary but can be incorporated if you wish to do so.
Evidence-based & taught by healthcare professionals: Researchers such as Dr. Richard Fehring at Marquette University (MU) have and continue to conduct extensive research regarding the 98% efficacy rate of the Marquette Method. All instructors are either physicians or registered nurses and go through the necessary training at MU, giving you a unique perspective from a healthcare professional.

-Postpartum Women

Biological Health Benefits
“Women and couples who practice NFP chart important menstrual cycle signs that can be used to identify serious health problems. Subcommittees of both the American Pediatric Association (APA) and the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AAOG) have recommended monitoring the menstrual cycle as a vital sign for adolescents and young women. Others have recommended that women of all reproductive ages monitor their menstrual cycle to identify potential health problems. Studies have shown a link between indicators of the menstrual cycle with cardiovascular disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), metabolic syndrome, gestational diabetes, anorexia, unusual uterine bleeding, and sub-fertility.” - Marquette University
