i dont think your pregnant yet cause it takes a few days before you actually get pregnant but you can get pregnant, also you may have spooting if you miss pills and if you get spotting it may be because the pills are not working cause your not taking them right, so if you have missed so many pills and are having unprotected sex you may get pregnant, if you miss your period take a test using first morning urine.

if you dont want to get pregnant you should put an alarm to remember your pills, you should take them every day at the same time for it to work correctly, i take mine every day at 6 am, i have an alarm and my baby wakes me up about that same time anyways ;)

Yes, it is entirely possible you're pregnant. It would be wise to contact your ob asap.

its possible, but i dont think you are. i used to take birth control and if i missed 2 or 3 in a row i started having brown discharge coming out.

Yes, you can be pregnant. If you are not good about taking the pills on time, then I would look into another form of birth control. There is the shot, implant, etc. all of which don't require you to remember to take. I would go to your doctor to get checked and ask about getting on something else.
