You may notice a clear substance, called discharge, on your underwear. That's one sign. Another is breast development and hair under your arms or your bikini line.

How long does it take birth control pills to regulate your period?
Truly, the birth control pill doesn't regulate a period. It replaces your natural cycle with its own cycle of no bleeding and bleeding. Unless something else in your body changes, you are likely to return to your previous menstrual pattern once you go off the pill.
That said, you may have irregular, unscheduled bleeding in your first three months on the pill. After that, you should settle into a more predictable pattern. Some women think the pill will guarantee that their period always arrives on, say, every fourth Tuesday. That may happen, but it's not likely to be thatregular.
If after three months you're still experiencing breakthrough bleeding, or if it's troublesome in the first three months, contact your health care provider to discuss the possibility of changing to a pill with a different hormone profile.
When you take your last birth control pill when will your period start again?
About 3-4 days after the last pill.
Can you get pregnany when your on your period?
"The debate on whether or not a woman can get pregnant during her period has been going on for decades now. Just like every woman is different, so are her hormonal balances and hence her menstrual cycle. Though there are generalities on which some ground basics of menstruation and pregnancy can be formed, but eventually it all boils down to individual physiology. So, yes, you can get pregnant during your periods.
There is a definite chance that any woman can get pregnant during her periods. Though the chances of pregnancy during periods are usually low during periods, they exist for all women. During periods, the chances of pregnancy are comparatively lower at the onset of a woman's period and increase just after her periods. The truth is that there is no predictable time during the month when the risk of pregnancy can be said to be absent. Lets understand how and when this can happen." -babyhopes.com

No. It's progestogen only and you take it every day. There is a higher failure rate for this than for the combined pill but you can make it much safer by always using condoms or a cap (vimule) or diaphragm as well.
Those are definitely signs of getting your period, but you might have such signs for quite a while before your period starts. It just depends on your body. I personally had cramps and all those signs once a month for a few months before the bleeding actually started. Good luck!

What does it mean when you come on your period twice in one month?
It means just that - you came on your period twice in one month - it's no more complicated than that. If this was your period, and not your period plus some other vaginal bleeding caused by something else, then it is normal to bleed twice in one month occasionally. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days and as most months have more than 28 days if your cycle is this long or shorter you will see yourself bleeding twice in some months.
Is there a pill that stops your period?
Many pills will cause a period to become very light to completely nonexistent, newer ways to take some of the typical BCP will allow women to take the pill for 12 weeks - have a period on week 13 - so you will have just 4 periods a year.
Talk to your health care provider to decide which pill is best for you and your situation.
