The "3 month pill rule" generally refers to the recommendation that when starting a new birth control pill, you should give your body about three months to adjust to the medication. During this time, you may experience side effects like spotting or mood changes, but these often subside after the initial adjustment period. If side effects persist beyond three months, it's a good idea to consult your healthcare provider.
