am i worrying too much.....??

my partner and i haven't been trying for long but im already thinking of things that could be affecting my chances. the one thing thats worrying me at the moment is after sex when my partner pulls out, it appears none of the sperm stays in. is this natural, am i just over reacting? iv tried putting pillows under my bum before he pulls out but it seems to not want to stay in there. lol. im sure of all that sperm some remain. i suppose im just looking for reasurance that this is all normal, as this being my first time trying i dont know whats right or wrong. Can anyone help setting my silly worries? xx
