What is Restorative Reproductive Medicine?
The diagnostic and treatment philosophy behind RRM. How cause-based care differs from suppressive medicine, and what to expect from an RRM-trained clinician.
Restorative Reproductive Medicine Guides
In-depth guides to restorative reproductive medicine, written by board-certified physicians. Each guide covers the evidence, practical next steps, and what to expect.
What restorative reproductive medicine is, and the charting methods and clinical systems it is built on.
NaProTechnology: A Clinician's Guide
NaProTechnology diagnoses and treats the underlying conditions driving infertility, menstrual disorders, and early pregnancy loss. This guide covers how the method works, published outcomes data, how to find a qualified provider, and what to expect on cost and insurance.
Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS)
A standardized, instructor-taught way to chart cervical-mucus biomarkers that doubles as a clinical record. The same Creighton chart that helps couples avoid or achieve pregnancy is the diagnostic input a NaProTechnology physician reads to identify and treat underlying conditions.
What is FEMM?
FEMM (Fertility Education and Medical Management) teaches women to monitor hormonal biomarkers and connects them with trained providers who diagnose and treat the underlying conditions driving their symptoms.
What is NeoFertility?
NeoFertility diagnoses and treats the underlying causes of infertility and recurrent miscarriage using cycle-based evaluation, immunological testing, and targeted treatment to restore natural conception.
Billings Ovulation Method
The Billings Ovulation Method uses only cervical mucus to identify the fertile window. Learn how it works, what the evidence shows, and its value in restorative reproductive medicine.
Marquette Method
The Marquette Method uses urinary estrogen and LH monitoring to identify the fertile window. Learn how it works, what the evidence shows, and how it fits RRM.
Sympto-Thermal Method
The sympto-thermal method combines cervical mucus and basal body temperature to identify the fertile window. Learn how it works, what the evidence shows, and its clinical value in restorative reproductive medicine.
TwoDay Method
The TwoDay Method uses a yes/no secretion check to identify fertile days. Learn how it works, what the evidence shows, and how it fits within restorative reproductive medicine.
Boston Cross-Check
Boston Cross-Check combines cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and a hormone monitor. Learn how the multi-biomarker chart works and what the evidence shows.
In-depth guides to the conditions RRM-trained clinicians diagnose and treat at the root.
PCOS Explained: Diagnosis, Phenotypes, and the RRM Approach
Polycystic ovary syndrome has four diagnostic phenotypes and distinct metabolic, reproductive, and mental health implications. How RRM-trained clinicians approach diagnosis and treatment differently.
Endometriosis Explained: Diagnosis, Excision Surgery, and the RRM Approach
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that drives pain, organ dysfunction, and infertility. How RRM-trained clinicians diagnose and treat it through excision surgery, cycle charting, and longitudinal care.
Chronic Endometritis: The Missed Diagnosis Behind Recurrent Loss and Failed IVF
Chronic endometritis is a persistent, low-grade inflammation of the uterine lining diagnosed by CD138 endometrial biopsy. It is frequently missed in recurrent miscarriage and implantation failure workups, and it is treatable with antibiotic therapy.
Uterine Isthmocele (Cesarean Scar Defect): Causes, Symptoms, and Restorative Repair
A uterine isthmocele is a pouch-like defect at the cesarean scar that causes postmenstrual spotting, pelvic pain, and secondary infertility. Diagnosis, repair options, and the restorative approach.
Miscarriage and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: A Clinician-Reviewed Guide
Miscarriage affects approximately 15% of clinically confirmed pregnancies. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more clinical losses, affects 2 to 5% of couples. Most causes are diagnosable and treatable. This guide covers what the standard workup misses, what RRM-trained clinicians evaluate, and what outcomes look like after cause-based treatment.
Decision guides that weigh the options side by side.
RRM Success Rates: What the Published Evidence Shows
RRM live-birth rates across 14 peer-reviewed cohorts, 11 countries, 2008-2026. Crude and adjusted-cumulative outcomes with follow-up windows, by condition and age group.
Fertility Awareness-Based Methods Compared
Clinician-reviewed comparison of fertility awareness-based methods (Billings, Creighton, Sensiplan, Marquette, Standard Days, apps). Every effectiveness figure cited and labeled by metric.
Fertility-Preserving Surgery: Restorative, Specialist, and Conventional Approaches Compared
How fertility-preserving surgery differs by approach: restorative (RRM), specialist, and conventional, across endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, fibroids, tubal disease, Asherman's syndrome, adenomyosis, cesarean scar, pelvic adhesions, and male-factor causes including varicocele and obstruction.

Common Questions About RRM
We address common questions about RRM with published evidence, acknowledge limitations, and clarify what RRM is and is not.
RRM Glossary
A comprehensive, evidence-based reference for the terminology, methods, conditions, and procedures encountered within the Restorative Reproductive Medicine framework.
ART Registries and Codes of Practice
A global reference to national IVF registries (HFEA, RTAC, ANZARD, Q-IVF, CDC, DIR, JSOG, CARTR Plus, REDLARA, ESHRE EIM, ICMART) and the codes of practice that govern fertility clinics. What each measures, and what they miss.
