If you're happy with the HBC you're on, the doctor should be writing a prescription for at least a year.
It's somewhat understandable for your first prescription to only be for 3 months, in case that particular pill doesn't work for you. Sometimes they want to check your blood pressure before writing a scrip for a whole year, which makes sense because HBC raises blood pressure for some people. If you have some condition (like high blood pressure) that needs to be monitored more if you're on the pill, then maybe. Other than that, there's simply no excuse for them to not give you a year's Rx.
