Spotting is what happens when just a little of the menstrual blood comes out in the middle of your cycle(when you're not expecting a period at all) or it is a sign that your normal flow is about to begin. Spotting is usually light in color, and doesn't require a hefty sized napkin to clean up.

But I am on Birth Control and I am actually expecting to be on my period and it is very light in color and only lasted for one day. is there something wrong? Am i pregnant? I shouldn't be, or is it not healthy for me to take this birth control anymore?

Spotting refers to light vaginal bleeding - thus it can look red, pink, or brown. Brown is most common as when bleeding is light it can take time to leave the vagina, in mean time the blood goes brown just as blood from an old cut would go brown. Spotting is sometimes seen among discharge or cervical mucus.

Spotting is the spillage of blood from the vagina not a period. And cramps are the uterus contracting so blood could come out... what we call a period.
