Hello ma'am and welcome.
Yes, spotting is a common side effect of birth control pills. I would not really worry about this side effects, as most women experience the same only for short periods of time. But if this is causing you discomfort or last for a long period of time, then you can report to your prescribing doctor who will certainly help find a suitable solution.
And yes, you are most probably not pregnant. Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
