There are quite a few of us that are charting our cycles, some charting to avoid, others just charting for knowledge, etc..

There is a thread here . The first post has some information you might find helpful.

I'm using a nonhormonal iud

I love my non-hormonal (copper) IUD. Some women have cramps and significantly heavier periods with the copper IUD, others don't.
You could also use any combination of charting, condoms, withdrawal, spermicide or diaphragms. For example, you could combine charting and withdrawal, or diaphram and spermicide.
