No, you can start the Birth Control pill at any time in your cycle using the Quick Start method. Be sure to use a backup method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've been taking your pill for at least seven days. If you still haven't had your period after a cycle of pills, take a pregnancy test.
