Problem with starting the pill again.

(I should ask my GP this but wanted to see if anyone here had been through the same thing).
Thought I had my period so started to take the pill - first time in over 2 years. Turns out I was only spotting but know I'm due to start any day now - if psycho mood swings are anything to go by!
Should I keep taking the pill or wait until period starts? (been taking it for past few days). Really keen to stop using condoms and don't want to waste GP's time so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think the only difference is that if you start it on the first day of your period you are protected straight away. If you got the timing slightly wrong there's no reason to stop taking it but you would want to continue using condoms for a while - I think it's only a week but check the leaflet in your pack. They usually give pretty detailed info about this sort of thing.

Thanks.
It's not on the leaflet which is weird as I can't be the only person this has happened to.
