I'm a first-time birth control pill user. I was told the best way to begin taking them was to wait until my next period begins. However, while my last period arrived at the time it should, two days after it stopped I began spotting on and off. This has continued for a week and is now getting a bit heavier. My question is, should I wait to see if this stops and begin the pills when my next cycle starts, or can I begin them now?

I had my tubes "tied" several years ago. Now I'm interested in having another child and was wondering if the procedure could be reversed.
