Aim surpose to start my birth controls on the first day of my period.i'm bleed but it not a flow yet should i still start it today?

Yes but: We used to recommend starting birth control pills at a specific time after your period ended. Newer research suggests it doesn't matter when you start it. Just take it regularly.
