Kinda-sorta.

Will taking birth control and different times of the day make a period late?

Yes. As directed by all doctors and on the instruction labels of all birth control pills, you are supposed to take your birth control everyday and at the same time. If you take your birth control at different times everyday, it is not allowing the birth control to adapt in your body the way it is supposed to and it decreases the effectiveness of the birth control as well. Some side effects of taking your pill at different times of each day may include: pregnancy, late/irregular periods, and spotting or breakthrough bleeding.

Can stopping the birth control pill affect your period?

When you stop taking the birth control, your period may change in a few ways. First, it will probably get a bit heavier and crampier again, reverting to the pattern it had before you started the pill. (Since the pill makes most women's periods lighter and less crampy, stopping it removes this benefit.) Second, your period may not have the same timing it had when you were on the pill. When you stop, your next period will come in 4-6 weeks.

Can you skip a month of birth control pills?

Yes, but it is not recommended. If you do decide to skip your birth control for a month be sure to use a back-up method such as condoms, to prevent pregnancy because all the hormones from the birth control will be depleted from your system. Skipping your birth control may also cause unwanted side effects as well, such as: late or irregular periods, or spotting or breakthrough bleeding. When you do begin taking you birth control again, be sure to wait at least 2 months before you have unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. It is not good to skip your birth control or take frequent breaks either. If you do find that the pill is not for you, you should consult your doctor to find a method that is better for you.

What are the factors to be considered in the choice of contraceptive method?

Cost, ease of use, reliability, future pregnancy plans/return to fertility after stopping, religious considerations (e.g. some Roman Catholics avoiding all but natural family planning methods), medical contraindications, other medical conditions that would be helped more by one method or another (e.g. Depo Provera for sickle cell or Mirena for heavy periods), need for privacy, access to ongoing care (e.g. hard to pick up pills if you're in Antarctica, I'm guessing -- IUD might be easier), need for disease prevention. The "related link" has an online questionnaire that helps go through some of these considerations.
