I'm 34 and on the pill (since i was 18). For the past 2 months i have missed pills sporadically.

You may have messed with your period for this month, so that may be it.

I am no BCP expert either, but I was on them.

You can mess your period up by taking any pills off schedule. If you miss one pill then take it before the next is due (or with the next one) there is usually very little impact (or risk) but missing two in a row or not taking the pill to catch up (at the right time) renders the pill almost completely ineffective that month. That's what my doctor told me when I asked about missed pills. Of course that doesn't mean you're pregnant--there is a lot to timing as well.
