Not heavy, but light blood. Could this be because of the birth control? Does my body still have to get used to it?Also, I missed my pill today and took it 4 hours after I was supposed to. I didn't mean to but I wasn't home at the time I was supposed to so I Kinda missed it. Could that've caused it to? I haven't had no other bleeding until today.

 Your body most likely is still just getting used to being on the pill. Some light spotting can be common for girls.
If it doesn't stop after a day or so, then call your doctors office and ask them if this is something you should be worried about.
Missing a pill by a few hours won't cause you to bleed or speed up your period, but it can make the pill a little less reliable. Tray to take it the same time every day. But you did the right thing by taking it as soon as you could.
Read the instruction pamphlet about what to do if you miss a pill. Know it backwards and forwards.
