Pill prescribing and reviews

Hi all

For those of you on the pill, can I ask how long your GP will prescribe for at a time? My GP will only prescribe for 3 months per request-is that the norm?
Also, for those of you on the POP, do you have a yearly weight and BP review? Think mine might be due...
Many thanks.

Ella

6 months on the combined pill because they need to check weight and blood pressure after that. A year worth of POP at a time because they don’t need to check anything on that type of pill.
