As far as I know, if you are taking them for birth control, then yes, you have to wait until your period. If you start taking them at any time, you won't be protected for sure until your next cycle.
If you are taking them for acne and don't care about pregnancy, you could probably start them whenever.
If you do start them whenever, I have read a lot of posts by women who say this messes up their cycle (end up spotting all month, late period, etc.)
I would suggest waiting, and since you say your period was a few weeks ago already, that shouldn't be too long.
