That's a misconception, forgive the pun. It varies from woman to woman and even from month to month. Mine used to start on the 2nd day, but now doesn't ever start till the middle of the 3rd day after I start taking the placebo pills, and sometimes even the 4th day depending on whether I'm stressed.
I've been on the pill for 12 years, we've fucked like bunnies and never used condoms, and no pregnancies - w00t! Only one "scare" and that was when I started taking the pill all the time instead of stopping to have a period, and I got paranoid, so it wasn't a scare so much as a panicked double-check.
Pregnancy is, unfortunately, a side-effect of sex, and as others have said, if it's an unacceptable risk and your views are not compatible with your girlfriend's, you ought to keep it zipped. However, I do think the risk is exaggerated in your mind. If you're doing everything you can to prevent a pregnancy, you should be fine.
