Q: Could I Be Pregnant?

Hello, I really hope you can help me. I take Seasonale birth control; thus, my period schedule is a little off (I have only 4 a year). During the week of August 6th through 10th, I had sex with my fiance, every day (he was only home for that one week from another state). I hate to admit it, but I am very negligent about taking my pill at the same time every day (mainly b/c when he's not here I don't have to worry about it), and the times I take it seem to vary. I also missed a pill that week and didn't realize it until the next day around 7 pm when I took 2 pills. Then, another day we had a few celebratory drinks (because he was home) and I neglected to take it again. Once again, I doubled up my pill the next day. I also took all pills at random times. This is only my second pack of Seasonale (each pack has 3 sheets/months)... I was on the last row of the second sheet of pills during that week (or as it says the 8th week of pills in the pack... and that means I haven't had my period in 8 weeks). Now, I am on the 9th week and first row of the 3rd sheet. Sorry if I am being overly thorough, but I want to make sure to give you plenty of information because I am very concerned.
Anyways, I have also drank alcohol a few times since that week before it ocurred to me that I could possibly be pregnant. Now, not only am I worried that I could be pregnant, but I am also concerned that if so the alcohol could have affected the baby.
I took a pregnancy test yesterday (16th), and it was negative. I realize it was probably too early too tell.
I have also been having a tightening feeling in my stomach sporadically, I have felt lightheaded, my breasts have been sensitive, and today it seems smells are extremely intense and they bother me. That and I have an odd metalic taste in my mouth. I am 21 years old.
Any information or advice/relief would be greatly appreciated! Also do I have to wait until the end of the 3 month pack before I can test again?
Thanks guys! Shocked Very Happy
