Mustard Seed Fertility & Wellness

👋 Hey! I’m Diane Meads. 😊 I’m a FertilityCare Practitioner (FCP), meaning I teach women and couples the Creighton Model FertilityCare System. I customize the program to each client’s individual needs and goals. I also coordinate referrals to NaProTECHNOLOGY Medical Consultants when fertility or health concerns are present.
I’m a former high-school teacher, happily married to my husband Matt. We live in central Illinois with our three young kiddos. If I’m not chasing toddlers around a playground, I’m probably reading, cooking, or thoroughly enjoying an iced coffee! ☕️
I was a freshman in college when I first became interested in the Creighton Model. I randomly attended a lecture through our Catholic Newman Center on campus where an FCP presented the basics of women’s health and the answers that charting Creighton could provide. I couldn’t believe how much I learned in one hour about ovulation and fertility that I had never been taught in any Health class in school, and also that Creighton could allow a couple to to either achieve or avoid pregnancy completely naturally, ethically, and effectively, completely without the use of side-effect-laden contraceptives. Finally, charting Creighton would also identify health-related issues that a woman could be experiencing, which a medical doctor could then treat. I walked away from that evening thinking, “What an incredible tool this is!” 🤯
Fast-forward several years to when I was single, teaching, and a friend entered the training program to become an FCP. I couldn’t wait to learn the system from her and hopefully understand more fully whether my own cycles were normal. Within several months, through charting and visiting a doctor also certified with Creighton, I learned that my progesterone levels were low, which was causing me to experience significant PMS issues and also would put me at a greater risk for infertility and miscarriage. I am eternally grateful to have known this prior to getting married and building our family! 🙏🏻🥳❤️
After successfully using Creighton in our marriage to both achieve and avoid pregnancy, I found myself regularly talking it up to friends and wanting to teach others the system, too! I’ve now completed the 18-month Creighton internship program in order to become certified as an FCP, which included extensive in-depth education, exams, and supervisor visits from a certified FCP educator. 📚

Looking for a science-backed natural family planning method that truly WORKS? 🧐
Effective family planning truly doesn’t have to involve synthetic hormones, invasive implant devices, barrier methods, or sterilization surgeries. The Creighton Model FertilityCare (TM) System teaches a woman to become aware of the signals of fertility that her own body naturally gives. This allows her to confidently identify the approx. 5-10-day portion of each cycle in which she is able to become pregnant (her “fertile window”). The rest of the cycle, she is naturally infertile.
How effective is this? Extremely. The Creighton Model FertilityCare (TM) System is 96-99% effective in avoiding pregnancy, which is on par with the most effective forms of contraception, like the birth control pill. (Contraception effectiveness varies widely – for example, condoms are only 85% effective!)
Creighton isn’t merely “another form of contraception,” though – the method has so many positive benefits. Since Creighton simply gives the woman information about her body, the system allows a couple to either avoid OR achieve pregnancy, depending on their intention. If a couple changes their intention, there is no “waiting period” as a woman comes off the synthetic hormones of the birth control pill, for example, and must allow her body time to adjust back to her natural cycles.
Creighton is also completely side-effect-free! In contrast, hormonal birth control puts women at increased risk for depression, weight gain, lowered s*x drive, acne, and certain cancers, among many other things. Indeed, it makes sense that an established estrogenic substance like the birth control pill would wreak havoc in our bodies.
Actually, couples who use Creighton often identify two POSITIVE “side effects” of the system: 1️⃣ An increased awareness of fertility-related health issues the woman may be experiencing. The information a woman records on her Creighton chart provides a gold mine of data for a Creighton-trained physician, who can accurately diagnose and effectively treat a myriad of conditions, including those that may increase risk for infertility and miscarriage. 2️⃣ Couples often report a sense of closeness and a positive change in their relationship as they learn the system together and communicate regularly about their own feelings and intentions surrounding pregnancy.
