Thank you for your question Marian.

NaProTechnology refers to Natural Procreative Technoloogy. In NaProTechnology we study the basic concepts of the normal menstrual and fertility cycle. We look at a way of tracking the cycle that is objective and standardized. With this we can begin to describe and understand what is normal and what is not normal or what is diseased. By taking this approach, we can also find and look for the underlying causes which then allow us to effectively treat it for long-term health.

NaProtechnology uses the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and its biological markers which are gained through education to guide its medical and technological resources so that it can be used cooperatively with the woman’s cycle.

Each Creighton FertilityCare Practitioner determines her or his own price. For NaPro trained doctors the same.

To learn more go to www.NaProTechnology.com and www.canfp.org for lists of doctors and practitioners in your area.
