Our Services
Our services are designed to meet the unique needs of our clients:
- Family Planning: Couples learn the Creighton Model to either achieve or avoid pregnancy naturally, using a scientifically validated method that honors the body’s natural rhythms.
- Women’s Health: Women can use the Creighton Model to monitor and chart their menstrual cycles. This helps identify health concerns and facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological conditions like irregular cycles, endometriosis, or PCOS.
- Infertility Solutions: Couples facing infertility can benefit from a natural, holistic approach with the combined use of the Creighton Model and NaProTECHNOLOGY. By addressing the root causes of infertility, we offer an alternative to IVF with successful, science-based treatments.
- IVF Alternatives: Unlike IVF, NaProTECHNOLOGY works to restore reproductive health by correcting underlying issues. This method aligns with ethical approaches to reproductive health while offering real, effective solutions.
About the Creighton Model and NaProTECHNOLOGY
The Creighton Model FertilityCare System is a scientifically developed, natural method of charting a woman’s fertility. This system not only helps couples plan their families but also allows women to monitor their reproductive health. By tracking specific biological markers, women can identify potential health issues early and receive appropriate treatment.
NaProTECHNOLOGY is a groundbreaking reproductive health science developed by Dr. Thomas W. Hilgers at the Saint Paul VI Institute. Once women learn to chart their cycles using the Creighton Model, NaProTECHNOLOGY can be applied to diagnose and treat a wide range of gynecological disorders, including infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and irregular cycles.
Fertility Appreciation: A Holistic Approach
At the heart of the Creighton Model is fertility appreciation. We believe that fertility is a natural and healthy process, a precious gift that should be respected and embraced. Our center is committed to promoting a culture of life, where women and couples are empowered with knowledge, respect for their bodies, and a deeper understanding of fertility.

From Our Clients
“God answered our prayers through Kathy and the Crieghton Model FertilityCare System. After nearly 8 years of infertility and no answers, Kathy and Dr. Millburn restored our hope. I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and only 4 months post operation we are expecting our first child! Kathy possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience with infertility and in the Creighton model. Most importantly, Kathy is a faithful catholic who is praying for us.”
~ Autumn & Anthony Menas“Charting my cycle through the FertilityCare Center has given me great insight into my overall health. Through charting, Dr. Milburn was able to identify irregularities that ultimately led to my diagnosis of PCOS. As an engaged woman preparing for marriage, I am so glad I started charting when I did. I was able to have surgery done which both treated my PCOS and identified/removed several sites of endometriosis. I am so grateful to have had these problems addressed now so that I can go into marriage with drastically improved fertility.”
~ Halea McCabe“The Fertility Care Center of the Upper Ohio Valley and the Creighton Model Fertility Care System has helped my husband and me to both achieve a pregnancy with our daughter as well as prudently plan our family according to God’s design.”
