These biomarkers also telegraph abnormalities in a woman\u2019s health. The CrMS allows a woman to unravel the mysteries of the menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website<\/strong> The Marquette Model of NFP was discovered by a research team at Marquette University, compromised of doctors and nurses, developed this innovative method to monitor fertility while utilizing the technological advances of the time.
