What is a Follow Up?

  • Follow Ups are the essential teaching component of the Creighton Model System.
  • The Follow Up personalizes the system to meet your individual needs and desired intentions for its use.
  • Follow Ups help you to quickly gain confidence in your use of the system.
  • You must have 2 months of charting and Follow Ups prior to seeing our physicians.
  • In order to access NaProTECHNOLOGY™, women must attend regular Follow-Ups, as the Creighton Model Chart is the cornerstone for physician diagnosis and treatment plans.
  • The Follow Up sessions are couple oriented thus, it is best if both the husband and wife attend together.
  • Each follow up will last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.

Follow-up sessions occur tentatively* in the following basic schedule:

1st Follow-up… Two weeks
2nd Follow-up… Four weeks
3rd Follow-up… Six weeks
