Even if you're not regular you can chart. You could take a NFP class. Once you learn, there's no cost and it's hormone free and effective (as long as you follow the rules).

I won't ever go back on hormonal birth control either and IUD's scare me.  Charting can be quite effective once you get to know your cycles well enough and learn which rules you need to use.  Charting does involve periods of abstinence or alternative barrier methods during your fertile time, but it still allows for quite a bit of unprotected time if you properly follow the rules.  I highly recommend looking into it.  If you need some guidance, please do not hesitate to post in these forums and join the Charting to Avoid Thread for support and tips.
