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?

I’ve never been pregnant and I have had, from time to time, completely unprotected sex (no pill, no condoms). Never got pregnant. When people say they had a ‘surprise’ pregnancy they usually mean they weren’t actively TTC, not that they were actively trying to prevent pregnancy and it happened. That’s quite rare.

I had one pregnancy scare in my early 20s when my period was a couple of days late, that was before I went on the pill. Started ttc with DH aged 29, never got pregnant,never used any contraception until last period at age 50.

I was on the pill for about 10 years. With my now DH for most of that time. I now have 2 planned DC. It took about 7 months to conceive DC1 and 2 months for DC2 from coming off the pill

I've never been pregnant and am 38. I've always used contraception properly as the thought of being pregnant horrifies me. Not sure why it would worry you when you are actually using contraception. That's what it's supposed to do.

I was the same between 17 and 32. Always took the pill, did miss a few. I'm now 38 with 2 children both conceived relatively easily. I honestly wouldn't worry.

No accidental pregnancies here. I had DC1 at age 35. It did take over a year to conceive but DP was constantly away from home and DC1 was conceived on holiday when we were together all the time. By the time we were TTC DC2, DP was mostly at home and I got pregnant with DC2 within 3 months at age 36.
