The Creighton method is also the Catholic answer to IVF and IUI (as those are not ethically approved by the church). The Creighton Naprotechnology comes with a higher percentage rate of success from infertility (about 80%).
Unlike common suppressive or destructive approaches, NaProTECHNOLOGY works cooperatively with the procreative and gynecologic systems. When these systems function abnormally, NaProTECHNOLOGY identifies the problems and cooperates with the menstrual and fertility cycles that correct the condition, maintain the human ecology, and sustain the procreative potential.
The CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare System (CrMS) is based upon the knowledge and understanding of the naturally-occurring phases of a woman's fertility and infertility. CrMS relies upon the standardized observation and charting of biological markers that are essential to a woman's gynecological and reproductive health. Now, a woman can know her cycles and use this information for the maintenance of her health. Further, couples can use this knowledge to plan their family and build their future together.

The Marquette method has also been growing rapidly in recent years, not only for couples who are newly married planning future children, but also for couples post-partum or breastfeeding.
Currently, there is not a record of license local Marquette instructors, but there are independent online resources availble with a google search that practice virtually.
Natural Family Planning is a hormone-free, ethical way of avoiding or achieving pregnancy in a marriage, but can also be used for unmarried women to monitor their health and track their menstrual cycles. NFP works with both regular and irregular cycles, both before children and post-partum.
