To take regular pregnancy tests

Do people who are on contraception that has stopped their period or made it irregular take regular pregnancy tests just in case or am I paranoid. I always have this fear I'd be one of them women who just gave birth without realising I was even pregnant. So I take them every 2 months just in case (only cheap ones) I was talking to a friend about it and she thought it was bizzare and she would only test if she had actual symptoms. I'm just curious what others do.

I don’t think you understand how pregnancy works?!

I've managed so far. I wouldn't be upset, if I did get pregnant earlier than planned. If I absolutely didn't want to have more kids, then we would be using more reliable contraception.

I was absolutely not letting anyone near my vagina at 4 weeks postpartum lol.
