The Marquette method uses an algorithm that helps women and couples find their fertile window by interpreting biological signs of fertility. These signs of fertility are manifested in the activity of reproductive hormones found in urine (which can be supplemented by changes in cervical mucus or fluctuations in basal body temperatures). The purpose of using natural biological signs of fertility is to help women and couples to identify the day closest to ovulation and narrow the estimated fertile window. This improves objectivity and method effectiveness for women and couples who want to avoid or achieve pregnancy. The method is taught by healthcare professionals who are specially trained in an online asynchronous teaching environment. Marquette Method trained healthcare professionals help the new learner/s gain confidence in management and self-interpretation of the woman's natural biological signs of fertility. The biological signs of fertility are important for understanding women’s menstrual and reproductive health.
