Karina, If this is the problem you are getting and you can't find a way around it, you could start the session on a splash or index page so that when you move from that first page into the main part of the website, the session has already been started and all session variables are available.
This is more of a quick-fix than a techncal solution, but it should work. After experimenting with using session id's to track users I opted for using cookies. Not because I was having too many problems with sessions, but more for the benefits that I could get using cookies in that particular application.
