Evidence of Our Approach
There are multiple international clinics offering fertility services based upon the Science of NaProTechnology™. Clinics in Ireland, Canada and the USA have published the results of comparative studies of their outcomes against Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) including IVF.
The Irish study has found that Natural Procreative Technology (NPT) gave an adjusted birth rate comparable to ART.

The Canadian study supported these figures. Both Centres also found that NPT should give more favourable pregnancy outcomes with a lower incidence of miscarriage, premature delivery, low birth weight and perinatal mortality compared to ART.

Other studies published using RRM to achieve pregnancy, or to avoid pregnancy can be found HERE.
Studies of the effectiveness of the use of the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS) to achieve pregnancy in couples of normal fertility showed that by the first cycle 76% were pregnant, by the 3rd cycle 90% were pregnant, and by the 6th cycle 98% were pregnant. In couples with infertility and using CrMS 20-40% achieved pregnancy over a period of 8-12 months of use. However, with the use of CrMS and medical treatment up to 80% could achieve pregnancy.
The Billings Ovulation Method® has been studied and shown to have statistical success. One study showed 82% of women trying to conceive had inadequate knowledge of their signs of fertility. It also showed that through instruction in the Billings Ovulation Method® a 78% pregnancy rate was achieved without infertility diagnosis. This includes a pregnancy rate of 65% in the subgroup of women already classified as subfertile, some of whom had been unsuccessful with IVF.
