I just got on birthcontrol, about a week and a half ago. However, last night instead of my regular time taking it, 9:30 i forgot so i took it at 11:30. Today i woke up with slight spotting/bleeding. Do you think i'm ok?

You're fine. Your body's just reacting to the slight change in hormones. Use this as a lesson to try to remember your pill to prevent this in the future.

I was told by my doctor that it's important to take it at the same time every day to ensure proper protection. If you are late, or miss it, you are not safe (from pregnancy at least). I notice that if I forget a dose that my cycle may come a day or so earlier than if I had properly taken my pills; but when you do get into the routine of taking it, it's nice to have your "start date" down to the hour - at least that's how mine used to be.
If you have doubts, ask your doctor, or simply visit the website for your specific brand of birth control. There should be helpful information listed there that can answer any questions you have.

That is normal when you miss your scheduled time by an hour or so you usually go through what they call withdrawal bleeding just take your pills on time and you should be fine.

LOL I LOVE your name!
You'll be ok. If you are doubtful wear condoms for a week if you have sex.
