A new revolution in women’s health.
NaProTechnology — Natural Procreative Technology — finds the root cause of gynecologic conditions and treats it with natural, proven methods. Dr. Peña is one of only two OB-GYNs in Florida trained and certified in it.
This breakthrough has helped women with
Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System
- A true system for family planning
- Can be used both to achieve and to avoid pregnancy
- Developed through extensive research at Creighton University School of Medicine
- Studies of tens of thousands of women using it led to the discovery of abnormal patterns and disease states — and to NaProTechnology
NaProTechnology
- Stands for Natural Procreative Technology
- It is not only for procreation: it heals patients with abnormal hormonal cycles, which can cause conditions from PMS to endometriosis to infertility
- A trained physician makes a proper diagnosis from the Creighton Model data the patient collects
- Treatment is natural and proven — medical and sometimes surgical — instead of masking the problem
How the process works
Learn to chart
You learn the Creighton Model and record simple daily observations of your cycle.
Read the pattern
Dr. Peña reviews your chart to spot abnormal patterns and orders targeted tests.
Treat the cause
The underlying condition is treated with natural, proven medical or surgical care.
Conceive naturally
With the cause resolved, pregnancy can happen naturally — and again, if desired.
NaProTechnology for infertility
An alternative for couples who want a more natural approach. Studies of couples diagnosed with infertility show:
Read a published NaProTechnology studyA comparison of “per woman” pregnancy rates showed statistically significantly higher rates with NaProTechnology than with IVF for anovulatory infertility, polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis and tubal occlusion.
Know all your options
It is important for you and your partner to understand every treatment option and its success rate.
| Method | Chance of pregnancy | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Medications to induce ovulation | 20–25% | Usual rate for a healthy fertile couple. |
| Intrauterine insemination (IUI) | 10–20% | Under 35. Women over 40: 2–5%. |
| In vitro fertilization (IVF) | 31–33% | Under 35; over 40: 4%. Bypasses the cause instead of treating it. About $12,000–$30,000 per cycle plus $4,000–$10,000 in medications. |
| NaProTechnology Dr. Peña’s preferred method | up to 80% | Up to 52.8% after failed artificial treatments. Treats the cause so pregnancy can be natural. Significantly less costly than IVF; parts may be covered by insurance. |
