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.

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 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?
Yes. There are several forms of birth control where patients have reported weight gain. Some pills and the depo shot for example.
No it is not okay. If birth control pills are not taken everyday at the same time, you will increase your chances of pregnancy. The only way for birth control to be 99.9% effective you must take your birth control everyday at the same time. If you find it difficult remembering to take your birth control as directed, you should speak to your physician about trying a different method of birth control, such as an IUD, or the Depo Vera shot. In the meanwhile find a time that is convenient for you to take your pill. Try taking your birth control everyday at 7 AM for example.

Up to what age can woman become pregnant?
A woman can get pregnant up to age (approximately) 50 without help as in hormone treatments and artificial methods. This is individual and do depend a bit on when the menopause "kicks" in.
Some woman even get pregnant naturally even after the menopause have started but this is not very common. This just to tell that a woman is not considered sterile even after starting menopause.
However:
A woman should try to have children before the age of 40. There are for most woman increased difficulty in becoming pregnant after this age.
Downs Syndrome is also increasingly more commonly found in babies born by "older" women. The percentage of babies born with Down syndrome slowly increase after age of 40.
It is very well possible for older woman (after 50) to become pregnant, but this would include hormonal treatment and egg from a donor.
