Im on birth control and im spotting i took a new pack and started it before i ended my period now im spotting can that b the problem to why its happen?

Possibly, yes. If: ..your normal period was interrupted when you started the next pack, some of the menstrual lining which should have been shed during your period may be now causing spotting. In general, it's best to take your pills exactly as directed. If you do so but continue to have spotting, I suggest you make an appt. w/ your GYN doctor. You may need to be switched to a "stronger" pill. Dr. Anne.
