I know the particles aren't harmless, but they're not supposed to get into the jug where I pour my water from.
What's causing this? Sign that I need a new filter maybe? It's been happening since I put it in 2 months ago though.
Anything I can do?
The instructions suggest that you run two full pitchers for a new filter to get the loose particles out.
That said, perhaps you didn't insert it tightly enough into the jug in the first place. Try pushing it a little tighter and try again.
It's okay if the particles are in the top part, as long as they don't leak through.

i have a brand new brita filter, and did everything correct in setting it up.....i discarded the first couple fills, and now whenever i use it, theyres always those carbon particles in my water.....i cleaned them all out of the top compartment one time, and they just came back the next fill.....is this normal, and if not how do i fix this problem?....and when they do go in my drink, they always stay at the bottom of my water, so i drink it anyway and dont drink the last few sips....is this bad?
This happens sometimes with my Brita too.
It's no big deal. Just check to make sure that the filter cartridge isn't cracked damaged.
The little particles are carbon particulates.

I found that Brita Filter replacement cartridges and similar products are extremely expensive. Not mention if you have to pay for the water+sewage as well in your monthly utility bill.
1. Is it good for pregnant woman to drink water filtered by brita instead of buying bottled/distilled water?
2. Is brita filter cartridge contains only activated carbon, what are the white/cream particles inside?
3. Is it easy to regenerate just by boiling it, or you have to reactivate the carbon by baking or burning it?
4. Can you replace the carbon with regular activated carbon (with the same particle size)?
It depends on what you are wanting to filter out of the tap water. Do you know if your tap water contains an elevated level of lead or other heavy metal or chemicals other than the chlorine added in water treatment? If not, I suspect that most filters are very effective far beyond their recommended capacity, since that is based on the worst possible level of contamination in any water system. If you want to test this, use the filter for a while beyond the recommended replacement date, and test the water for chlorine with a swimming pool test kit. If you don't have a pool or know someone with one, call local pool maintenance companies & see what they would charge to test it for you. I am quite certain that there is no way to regenerate activated charcoal/carbon.

The truth is that TAP WATER is just fine in most communities. State laws regulate frequent samplings, inspections and reports on the content of our drinking water.
Lugging in jugs of bottled water to drink in your house is simply not necessary.
I have a Brita filter that goes in the fridge and sometimes the carbon particles used to clean the water end up in the bottom of glass. Is this or can this be unhealthy ?
It is very unhealthy. If I were you, I would not drink out of it. The Carbon Particles that clean the water is now at the bottom which doesnt clean the rest of the water. If the Carbon Particles are in the fridge, that would cause the water molecules to slow down, and then the water is not filtered enough because most of the Carbon Particles are at the bottom, but there are still Carbon Particles that go around. So, then not ALL of the infectious molecules are filtered out. And that could mean you could get very sick from it

Jug filters. The simplest and cheapest method for purer water, most comprise two components: one filter that contains carbon particles to absorb contaminants; and another filter made of a resin that binds to the ions in minerals and removes them. The trouble is, they’re not 100-percent effective. According to Brita, the leading filtered-jug manufacturer, their filters only remove 85 per cent of chlorine residues and 70 per cent of pesticides (and may or may not eliminate pharmaceuticals). Distillation. This removes everything, including every last molecule of flavour. Small domestic countertop distillation units are available, but their sales appear to be mostly confined to those with severely compromised immune systems, as most people are put off by distilled water’s lack of taste. More important, the lack of natural minerals could be a health hazard. Heart...
