What is Marquette?
Marquette Method is based on monitor readings from an electronic fertility monitor (ClearBlue Fertility) that measures (at home) hormone levels in the urine, plus a customizable option for pairing cervical mucus observations and/or basal body temperature to determine the times of fertility. Following the introductory session, you will meet with a trained instructor to discuss your unique needs for at least 4 times within the first year and additional follow ups as needed.
