History of the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System
The history of the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System is both fascinating and significant, highlighting the key developments that took place in the United States and led to the creation of a scientifically based system of fertility care and women’s health monitoring.
July 25, 1968
Pope Paul VI publishes the encyclical Humanae Vitae on the moral principles governing the transmission of human life. In this document, he invited scientists and medical professionals to collaborate in developing a medically sound method of fertility awareness that would also respect the dignity of marriage and family life.
1972
Thomas W. Hilgers is first introduced to the Ovulation Method developed by John Billings and Evelyn Billings, based on the observation of cervical mucus.
1976–1991
Dr. Hilgers conducts extensive scientific research confirming that the Billings Ovulation Method is grounded in human reproductive physiology. During this period, he also develops a standardized system for observing and charting vaginal discharge and biomarkers of fertility.
1977
Dr. Hilgers presents, at a conference at the Human Life Center at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota, a new standardized system for observing and recording vaginal discharge patterns. This system later enabled the medical standardization and clinical application of fertility cycle observations.
1978
On the day of the death of Pope Paul VI (August 6, 1978), Dr. Hilgers and his wife Sue make the decision to establish the Pope Paul VI Institute in his memory and in response to his call to the scientific community expressed in Humanae Vitae. The Institute officially opened in October 1985.
1980
A comprehensive fertility observation and educational system is developed, including education for users, practitioners, supervisors, and physicians. The system becomes known as the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System (CrMS), named after the Creighton University School of Medicine, where much of the foundational research was conducted.
1991
Dr. Hilgers publishes The Medical and Surgical Practice of NaProTECHNOLOGY, marking the formal beginning of NaProTECHNOLOGY as a new women’s health science grounded in fertility cycle monitoring and restorative reproductive medicine.
