Contact: Shelli Dankoff/Media Relations Specialist
(March 16, 2009) – FertilityCare Centers of America (FCCA) has designated the week of March 22 – 28, 2009 as worldwide FertilityCare Week. The centers affiliated with FCCA, including the one at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, provide professional instruction in the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System and the reproductive science of NaProTechnology.
With all of the recent attention surrounding the birth of octuplets by a California woman, fertility issues have risen to the forefront of media attention.
The Creighton Model FertilityCare System provides a natural approach and is 99% effective in avoiding pregnancy. It offers couples who are experiencing infertility the hope of pregnancy without artificial reproductive technologies. Natural Procreative Technology (NaProTechnology) is a newly emerging science that uses the standardized tracking of a woman’s signs of fertility and infertility to assist in identifying indicators of physiological and hormonal problems. When these are confirmed by their healthcare practitioner, treatments can be prescribed that are founded in an understanding of what is actually occurring in the woman’s cycle.
Paul Kortz is coordinator of FertilityCare for OSF Saint Francis Women’s Services and is immediate past president of the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals.
