I had unprotected sex 2 week ago. 6 days later i lightly spotted for an hour. i'm on birth control but only had one day of brown spotting very strange?

Probably nothing: I would, however, do a pregnancy test now and repeat one in about a week to make sure that a window period hasn't missed. The brain-ovary-uterus axis is quite sensitive to a lot of things (e.g. Stress, weight changes, diet changes, etc...). Any one of these things, including a pregnancy, can alter the normal cycle.
