maybe i'm way off, but i'm a little concerned i might be pregnant even though i'm on the pill.
i take seasonique, which gives me a period once every three months. i've been having some brown discharge and a little bleeding the past week or so, even though i'm not supposed to start my period for another 3 and a half weeks. my bf and i don't use condoms (he's a little allergic) and since i'm on the pill, we don't use them (i know that isn't the smartest decision).

has anyone else experienced this and found out they were pregnant, or was it something else?

Is this your first time on this pill? It could just be that your body is bleeding early. As far as I know, not everyone has perfect success in controlling the bleeding for three months.

Also, i feel like i've been hungrier, but i don't know if thats just coicidence (i just started as a nanny so i eat more since i'm at home all day :P) as well as getting dizzy every once in awhile. dont know if that has anything to do with it? my boobs have also been sore.
maybe my body is still getting used to the pill, since this will only be my 2nd period on the pill?

I don't really drink any caffeine or anything. I'd had a lot of cravings for sweets a week or so ago. But I also wondered if that was because I eat a lot of low sugar foods. I haven't gained any weight from the pill except for my breasts getting larger.
I'm still 3.5 weeks away from my period so I don't think I'm experiencing PMS. I missed my pill 3x once because I was out of town and my re-fill didn't come in before I left.

Well, it wasn't 10 days in a row. It was just three pills, so it was three days.

if i'm understanding you correctly (i finished one 3-month pack, but missed 3 pills on the new 3-month pack), yes, that is what happened.
