At Vitae Fertility, we teach the Marquette Method. It's easy to learn, highly effective, and taught by RNs.

The Marquette Method is a type of Natural Family Planning which uses Clearblue Fertility Monitors to precisely track your LH and estrogen levels. Vitae Fertility Education is run by a Registered Nurse trained as an instructor of the Marquette Method of Natural Family Planning. By tracking the hormone levels in a woman's body throughout her menstrual cycle the woman is able to identify the time in her cycle in which she is fertile. She can use this information to achieve or avoid pregnancy or to track hormone imbalances she may be experiencing. The Marquette Method boasts the highest efficacy rates of the mainstream NFP methods, outranking Billings, Creighton, and Symptothermal! In regular cycles it is 99% effective at avoiding pregnancy when used with an instructor, and when used during the breastfeeding/postpartum phase it is 98% effective. The Marquette Method utilizes urinary hormone levels and can detect the fertile window more accurately than most other methods. A more accurate detection of the fertile window means less days of abstinence per cycle! In-person courses are available at this time, and online courses will be available in the next few months. Individual and group sessions are offered, with discounted rates for group sessions (5 couples or more).

What if February meant…

💚 More available days

💚 More confidence

💚 More peace of mind

When your method is objective, you spend less time second-guessing charts and more time choosing each other 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

That’s the quiet gift of Marquette.

🫣 Sneak peak into some of the conversations we have with our clients:

🗨 Is this my period?

🗨 I forgot to test…

🗨 Can you double-check my post-peak count?

🗨 My baby slept through the night…yay! But also…how will this affect NFP?

🗨 I just turned 40…is this perimenopause?

🗨 We’re frustrated. Does this get easier?

Call it a crisis. Call it a curiosity.

Either way, this is what having an instructor is for.

You might ask a friend to help you with any of these…the difference here is that an instructor has been trained to ask the right questions and be able to interpret the information to shine some clarity on your situation 😌💚

Recently, I had the opportunity to give a short talk for the Archdiocese of Edmonton titled “NFP for Priests.”

This talk is designed for priests and parish staff who help prepare couples for marriage. We focus on:

✅ Why NFP matters in Catholic marriage

✅ How to talk to couples about NFP with clarity and confidence

✅ An overview of the different NFP methods available

✅ The difference between NFP and contraception

✅ The theology behind s*x and marriage

Is this something your diocese or parish could benefit from?

I love talking with priests and parish teams, and I’d be happy to chat with yours.

Because I believe this is really important, this talk is offered free of charge 💚

NFP is simple…until it’s not 😵‍💫

💬 Is this my period or breakthrough bleeding?

💬 Why hasn’t my monitor found peak yet?

💬 I’m weaning…what should I expect now?

💬 This cycle feels off…is that normal?

Sometimes the questions don’t show up until you’re already in the middle of them.
Having a Marquette instructor isn’t about doing NFP “right," but it is about having an expert in your back pocket when real life shows up.

If you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. We’re here for you! 😊

🙋‍♀️ Welcome to the team Jennifer Fallon!

We’ll let her share her story:

"Hi! My name is Jennifer Fallon. I’ve been married to my husband Matt, a United States Marine, for over 17 years, and we have four sons and one daughter together.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Villanova University in 2007 and worked as a Registered Nurse primarily in Pediatrics before stepping away to care for our children during Matt’s deployments and training.

As a military family, we moved six times across the U.S. before settling in New Jersey, where we’re grateful to now be near family as Matt approaches retirement.

Despite being cradle Catholics, we had a late start with NFP. As a healthcare professional, I was taught that NFP was unreliable, and my early education focused mostly on abstinence and STDs.

Everything changed when a friend introduced me to the Marquette Method during a time of deeper reversion to our faith and shortly after my Marian Consecration.

Learning that Marquette was research-based and effective led me to Vitae Fertility, where Louise was my instructor. She made it accessible and simple, and even through breastfeeding, it worked beautifully—bringing Matt and me closer to each other and to the Lord.

After six years of practicing NFP, I felt called to help other women understand their fertility with confidence rather than fear. I’m grateful my clients trust me in this space and allow me to share what I’ve learned so they can better understand the beauty of their cycles."

The Marquette Method isn’t just about taking tests and filling out charts...it’s about how couples live their lives together 👩‍❤️‍👨

Here’s one couple’s experience in their own words:

“Thank you so much for your work and teaching.

The quality of life, romance, and freedom from fear is incredible.

We now know when our infertile window is each month and we can plan vacations and holidays within those days – that has been so amazing!!!

The burden I carried daily with Creighton for years was crippling. I live completely free of them now.

Yes, abstaining periods are a cross, but I love the objective tests and results, and that there is no more ambiguity. I praise God for the gift of your knowledge.”

We are grateful and honoured to provide help and education 💚

As January fills our inbox with new couples ready to learn, we’re reminded how beautiful it is to serve families walking in faith 💚

It’s a time when many couples take stock of their lives and want to move forward with a new plan.
And to be real…many probably abstained through most of the holidays and want to have more available days! 🥰

Regardless of the reason why you’re looking for a Marquette Method Instructor, we are here to help you understand the method and your fertility…with clarity and peace of mind.

Reach out through our website to learn more about how we can be there for you!

🤔 Curious about how Marquette compares to mucus based methods?

They share the same goal: tracking fertility.

💡 It’s the “how” that looks different.

Ashlee, one of our instructors, made the switch herself.

Read her story on our blog post “Switching from Creighton to Marquette NFP? Here’s What to Expect.”

🙏 Our Lady of La Leche, pray for us!

After the conference a few of us headed to St. Augustine, FL to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche.

Many of our Marquette clients are breastfeeding mommas, and so I took some time to offer a prayer for all of our nursing moms - the moms with new babies, struggling to get a good latch, the moms who are up in the middle of night nursing! 🤱

I had the pleasure of co-hosting the Marquette Research Summit again this past year with Sara Flood (NFPCoach- Marquette Method)!

I learned so much about what the latest research has to say about fertility, Marquette, perimenopause, and so much more.

Plus so many great visits were had… and not many pictures were taken! My heart is full.

Some of my favourite parts:

💚 Connecting as Vitae Instructors - we really do have such a special group of instructors at Vitae. They’re the type who.. If you lived close to them, you’d definitely want to swing by for coffee. Being able to see them in person was such a blessing!

💚 Connecting with the larger community of Marquette instructors - it was so humbling to look around the conference room and see a room full of people dedicated to teaching NFP, dedicated to the teachings of the Church, and dedicated to furthering the research in NFP to make things simpler for our users!

💚 Watching God move in our community - we hosted this conference in the middle of the government shut down, we had endless tech issues, and it literally froze in Florida…. 32 degrees! Yet, we saw God’s hand moving, taking care of the details for us so that we could still have a successful conference.

💚 Learning about the new research that’s unfolding - there’s lots going on in the Marquette research world - some really exciting studies that’ll be published in the next year or so, and we got to hear all about them!

💚 Learning more about the moral and ethical issues related to NFP - we had Dr. Perry Cahall, PhD attend our conference to speak to the ethical issues that arise in NFP, both in the spectrum of women’s health, and also in the day-to-day NFP user’s life.

🤌 One test.
🤌 Once a day.
🤌 Done.

That’s using the Marquette Method of NFP in a nutshell.

You don’t have to check your CM every time you go to the bathroom.

You don’t have to temp every morning before you’ve even had a chance to think about making coffee ☕

You simply… test, and go live your life! 💚

Marquette really is that simple, and 98% effective (with perfect use).
