There are many types of natural Birth Control methods. A few of the more common types appear below.
- Withdrawal, also termed Coitus Interuptus, is the practice of timing the man's withdrawal of his penis from the woman's vagina during intercourse just before ejaculation, thereby preventing the semen from entering the woman's vagina. This method requires the man to exercise sufficient self discipline to always withdraw before ejaculating.
- The Rhythm Method, also termed the Calendar Based Method, avoids intercourse during the days in the woman's menstrual cycle in which she is at risk of being fertile. The woman is considered infertile seven days before the first day of the menstrual cycle (the first day she begins to bleed). This method requires the woman to know the length of her menstrual cycle.
- Some partners resort to non-vaginal intercourse, such as anal sex, oral sex, or non-penetrative sex, including manual stimulation (hand-job), and mammary stimulation (breast-job).
- Abstinence (no sex ever) is also a form of birth control.
Each type of birth control has its effectiveness. Withdrawal and the Rhythm Method both experience a typical annual birth control failure rate of approximately 25%, meaning that there is a 1 in 4 chance a normally sexually active couple will get pregnant even while practicing one of these methods. If these methods were practiced perfectly with no mistakes ever - that is, the man always pulls out before ejaculating for the withdrawal method, and the woman always tracks her menstrual cycles for the rhythm method, then the annual failure rates for both methods drops to about 5%, or about once in 20 years.
Non-vaginal intercourse and non-penetrative sex have extremely low failure rates (less than 0.01%), but failures (accidental pregancies) can still occur. Total abstinence is the only method with a 0% failure rate.

What birth control can you use if you are allergic to the hormonal birth control patch shot and pill and you don't want to get an IUD and are there any herbal non-hormonal methods?
I think you need to educate yourself about the methods of birth control. "Allergy" to all hormonal methods is unheard of, but if it is so, herbal options are not likely to be easier. Remaining methods are natural family planning, abstinence, and barrier methods such as condoms, vaginal sheath, diaphragm, cervical cap, and contraceptive sponge. These methods are less effective than other options, and require you to follow directions exactly.
