Yep. Starting birth control can make your cycle a bit wonky. So can a lot of other things. Check out MIA or Dude, Where's My Period? for more information.

The birth control pill doesn't supress periods as far as I know unless you skip the placebo pills and directly begin another cycle right after your last one has ended.
You're supposed normally to get your periods during your placebo pills (sugar pills).
And it might take some time for your body to adjust to hormones which maybe have something to do with your period being late. But if I were you, I wouldn't expect your period before you are arrived at the placebo pills.
