Ive been taking birth control since the end of november..Just recently in the past 2 months like 4-5 days before im supposed to start taking the green pills (aka the week my period is supposed to come) ive experienced like brown spotting..And its not in my underwear its just when I go to the bathroom and wipe. I take my birthcontrol everyday when I wake up, and it never did this before. I was just wondering what it could be?

You are probably experiencing breakthrough bleeding. It is a common side effect of birth control pills. It is nothing to worry about, but if it becomes unliveable--for example, I bled 3 weeks out of the month on ortho-lo--you might have to call your gyno and ask to try a different pill.
