New to birth control. HELP!

Just picked up my birth control pills today. I've heard so much conflicting information as to when I can start...the first day of my period, the Sunday after my period, or immediately. 
My last period was October 5 so I'm sort of mid cycle, can I start now? Should I wait until my period starts to begin?
