Does it matter at what time you take your birth control pill?
Not really. Doctors suggest that you take the pill at the same time every day so that you will establish a pattern to remember to take it daily. In terms of whether you take it in the morning one day, then in the afternoon the next, it does not make any difference in effectiveness. I would suggest eating before taking it, though.
Is it required to take the green pills in a birth control pills pack?
In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills.

What do you call a girl's penis?
"Nonexistent" would be one. "Amazing" would be another, since girls do not usually have penises. If a girl was born with transsexualism or an intersex condition, then she could have a penis, and it wouldn't be her fault nor anything. Most girls like that would want that gone and just be normal down there for a girl.
The female analogue to the male penis might be the clitoris, which is a dense bundle of nerve cells which is primarily responsible for a woman's orgasm.
What if you get your period early on birth control?

Can birth control shorten you period?
No, but that's because you don't get a period on hormonal birth control.
Hormonal birth control works by stopping your menstrual cycle so that you no longer ovulate, and thus in turn you no longer menstruate. The bleeding you get on hormonal birth control is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to placebo week. A withdrawal bleed may be shorter than your period depending on the length of your menstrual phase verses your withdrawal bleed, and withdrawal bleeds can be lighter too.

Can you get pregnant if you missed 3 days without taking your birth control pill?
Yes, you can easily become pregnant if you have sexual intercourse and miss 3 days of birth control pills. You can take an emergency contraceptive, such as the Morning After Pill or Plan B. These emergency contraceptives should be taken soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, however, EC's,(emergency contraceptives) may be effective and can still be taken after 5 days after unprotected intercourse) Since you have missed 3 pills, it is best to use a back up method such as condoms. Be sure when you start you new pack of pills to take your birth control everyday at the same time because that is the only way to be 99.9%+ protected from pregnancy. Each time you miss a pill you effectively increase your chances of becoming pregnant.

Yes, hormonal birth control has a major effect on the body as a whole so birth control pills can cause a wide range of symptoms - including nausea, fatigue, and dizzy spells.

The sugar pills are only placebos (just a reminder what day you start your next pack) so if you don't take them it doesn't mean you will get pregnant. Just remember to start your next pack on time. No you can't get pregnant as long as you took all of your pills as prescribed. If you're worried you can take a regular pregnancy test while you are on the pill, as it tests for the pregnancy hormone HCG which the pill has no impact on.
But what if it's your first pack and you missed a few and took them the next day?

Morning-After Pill is an option it is not a birth control pill but is Emergency Contraception.
You mean IUD. It stands for Intra-Uterine Device and is often called the coil. It's a form of birth control invented about 2,000 years ago by the Arabs. It normally consists of a piece of plastic and copper inserted into the uterus. Another variation is the Mirena coil, which contains Levonorgestrol in a plastic tube, which is released into the uterus and is the most reliable form of contraceptive currently available. Sometimes the Mirena coil is called the IUS, which stands for Intra-Uterine System. It lasts for about 5 years.
All IUDs should be inserted under proper local anaesthetic (in the form of injections into your cervix at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions) like the injections that you have for dental treatment. It the doctor or nurse offers you only lidocaine gel, go elsewhere for your birth control as it doesn't work and they'll end up scraping you off the ceiling.
Alternately, if you meant UID as you wrote, this is a dosage frequency meaning once a day (uni in die), although it is more commonly written as QD or qd.
You stopped your birth control a month ago and still no period is this normal?
I would not be concerned after a single month. Give it another month.
I was on the pill for 10 years before I went off it. We were ttc almost straight away after I came off the pill. I got my withdrawl bleeding after my last pill in the packet and then I had no period for 50 days. Spent a fortune on pregnancy tests cause was getting no period and also had pms before each period which I had never got while on the pill so was convinced that I was pregnant every time. I took about 7 or 8 months before my cycles came anywhere close to normal
Does certain birth controls make you gain weight?
