Has anybody else never been pregnant?

I'm in my mid 30s, and between the age of 18 and now have had around 12 sexual partners.
I've predominantly taken the pill except for a brief spell of being on the Depo injection, and take the pill at pretty much the same time each night.
Not so much recently but when younger I had the very odd missed pill/took it too late.
However I've never to my knowledge had a pregnancy scare or an accidental pregnancy.

You hear of these a lot, yet it's never happened for me. I've never TTC so I have no idea but I'm starting to worry, though I'm maybe just paranoid. Any advice?

Before TTC at age 27 I never had any pregnancy scares. I fell pregnant with my first within the first month of trying, second was within 3 cycles and I'm currently 22 weeks with my only accidental pregnancy after we had unprotected sex once

I wouldn't worry. I had regular sex from the age of eighteen, using condoms (hormonal contraception never worked well for me), without any pregnancies or pregnancy scares, and I conceived the first month of trying aged 39.

Same (except 38 rather than 39)

I have never been pregnant, spent many years using contraception and never got pregnant when I was actively trying. I am a mum, though I have two children through adoption.

Thank you! And that's great news.
