Birth control pills and light periods

I am on birth control pills and I don't think I missed any this month. On the day my period was due, I started spotting. It has been very light, and I don't have bad cramps like I usually do. This has happened before at least once. I am not taking any antibiotics. The only medication I was taking was phentermine, for weight loss. Could I be pregnant? Should I get a test, and if so, when?
