I've always had an irregular cycle and i just was recently spotting for the past 3-4 days and i'm on birth control is this normal?

Yes: sometimes, even with ocps, you can have breakthrough bleeding. If it happens on a regular basis, you may want to revisit the type of ocps and select one with a higher hormonal profile to regulate your periods.
