Will I ache afterwards.
Yes you might. Muscle soreness is normal and will soon pass.
How often should I practise yoga postures?
This depends, however generally speaking, a few minutes a day is better than one long session per week. Start slowly and build up gradually. Attending class and having a home practise is very beneficial.
Can I practise if I have my period?
Yes you can, and it will even help ease symptoms. Listen to your body. You may find a gentler practise is needed at this time and you might want to avoid full body inversions, like shoulderstand.
