Are there any herbal teas..such as green tea, fennel, nettle tea, etc that can help prevent pregnancy from occurring? Something which is natural not a medicine

There is nothing like that I am afraid. There are herbs that will make pregnancy more likely but not otherwise. (i have been studying herbs and there properties nutritionally and with herb lore for years, as well as creating teas to help with ailments so I can say this with confidence I am correct)

Birth Control Pills work by fluctuating your hormones so that you do not ovulate, if you do not ovulate you can't be fertilized. There are no herbs known to stop your ovulation.

If you wish to have sex not using pills or condoms your best bet would be a diaphragm or a vaginal sponge. The diaphragm is more effective then the vaginal sponge but bot are about 200 times less effective then the Depot or the pill and about 150 times less effective then a condom. Please just use the medication and or latex. The discomfort for a half an hour a day sex period will be a lot more comfortable then the nine months of bearing the child and then the labor.

EDIT: What apay311 is saying sounds to close to using a douche. Don't do it, or anything like that. YOur vagina has this certain balance of bacteria which you need to stay healthy. You remove these and the healthy flora, you'll wind up getting a yeast infection or vaginosis. The San Fransisco City Clinic stated that you could get infections of the uterus, tubes, and bacteria because the squirting of water up there forces the bacteria into the cervix. Douching can also increase you risk for cervical cancer and eptopic pregnancy. (in an eptopic preganancy you carry the baby in the fallopian tubes, and both mother and child almost always die from this) Plus douching cannot, I repeat cannot ward of STD's or pregnancy. This is a common myth that has been debased by almost all gyneocologists.

EDIT: Here just for you I looked up every working contraceptive and there percentage of women who got accidentally pregnant with in the first year. The lower the number the better. The first number is lowest expected when using the item just as directed, the other number is typical, because many don't use contraceptives correctly.

Depo-Provera 0.3%-0.3%
Norplants- 0.2%-0.2%
Female Sterilization 0.2%-0.4%
Male Sterilaization 0.1%-0.15%
Pill (combination) 0.1%- 3%
Pill (progesterone only) 0.5%-3%
IUD (progestasert) 2%-3%
IUD (Copper T 380A) 0.8%-3%
Diaphragm 6%-18%
Condom 2%-12%
Cervical Cap- 6%-18%
Spermicides 3%-21%
Vaginal Sponge (if you've been pregnant before) 9%-21%
Vaginal Sponge (if you've never been pregnant before) 6%-18%
Periodic Abstinence (1-9%)-20%
Withdrawal 4%- 18%
No method 85%-85%

There you go.

Not that I've heard of, but abstinence is a good one. There are various barrier methods. Cervical caps, diaphragms, condoms (both male and female), of course the condoms do tend to be visible. There's also the pill, depo provera, and spermicide. Oh and did I already mention abstinence?

I wouldn't rely on a natural rememdy unless it had been proven to prevent pregnancy. And do remember condoms are the only thing known to protect against STDs and AIDs in addition to pregnancy. I don't know of any pill or plant that can do that.

Don't trust whoever tells you there are natural methods of preventing other than abstinence. There aren't. Don't be tempted to try any. They are not reliable and some can actually do you harm.

natural family planning, but to do it right you really need to watch your cycles for a few cycles to get it right or you could mess up. But if this is unprotected sex with somebody who has had a sexual past I would hope you are being safe for more than just pregnancy. Good luck with finding your answers.

Not having sex. That's the only safe way without using any protection. Even using protection isn't 100%
