After switching birth control pills, is it normal that my period isn't on time the first month?

After several issues (mainly psychological and well-being) with my previous birth control pill I consulted with my gynecologist and switched to a different pill with less ostrogen in it. I took the first pill of this completely new pack on the first day of my previous period, as instructed. I was told I'd get my next period during the 4 placebo pill days at the end of that pill pack (which is now, I took the first of these placebo pills last evening). I'm taking the 2nd one tomorrow. Should I be worried that my period hasn't arrived yet? Or could it be a bit irregular on the first month after switching?

Thanks!

Update:

I meant to say I'm taking the 2nd one today*, but it makes little difference to the point of this question.

    You don't have a period on the pill, so there is nothing to worry about.

    You may bleed through withdrawal from the artificial hormones, but that's all.
