Hi sandynaik,
First, I'll address your 3rd question: "How is no. 2 related to her periods."
The pill is 99.7% effective against pregnancy when used correctly.
That means taking the pill during the days your doctor has prescribed
for you. If you started taking the pill just before or during your
period, then you shouldn't have to worry about becoming pregnant.
But... if you started taking the pill later then you must a condom for
7 days while you wait for the pill to start working. You can view the
source of this information at the following site in the middle of the
page.
According to Frequently Asked Questions - Pregnancy

Question: I just started taking the pill about 4 days ago. I had sex
after 3 days and I let him come inside me. What is the chance I will
become pregnant?
Answer: Your chance of getting pregnant depends on when your last
period was. If you started taking the pill just before or during your
period then you should be safe. But if you have started the pill
later, then you should be following the 7-DAY RULE, which says you
must use a condom for 7 days while you wait for the pill to start
working.
