It's fairly common to see people here worried about pregnancy over all sorts of things. A number of these people are on birth control, using condoms, or not have PIV sex. This, plus the comments they generate, show that it's pretty common to be terrified of pregnancy when you're just starting out with sex, even if the risk is actually quite low.
Soooo is it weird that I wasn't worried at all about it, and totally trusted my birth control? I feel like it's a little odd lol. I'm far more paranoid now (five years after losing my virginity) than I ever was before. This is likely do to my experiences with the morning after pill and having once been pregnant, but the fear of pregnancy never once entered my head other than in situations where I feel that fear was valid (sex for the first time without any sort of protection, very screwy pill taking), and even now, I trust my birth control 99% of the time (condoms get zero trust though).
