Marquette Method

The Marquette Method

The Marquette Method is a modern natural family planning (NFP) method that combines fertility awareness with the use of a fertility monitor.


Unlike traditional calendar-based methods, the Marquette Method incorporates the measurement of urinary hormone levels to identify a woman's fertile and infertile days. It uses the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, a handheld electronic device that detects changes in hormones associated with the menstrual cycle.

Elizabeth will provide personalised guidance and support to ensure accurate interpretation of the fertility monitor readings and maximise the effectiveness of the method.
