I loved this pill. It worked so well for me. I barely had any side effects and my periods stopped. The one big side effect was that my sex drive was very low. The other challenge is that you cannot miss any pills. I still loved these because my mood and acne and lack of weight gain was so good. Unfortunately it’s been out of stock for the last nearly six months or so as all the good pills always are.

Periods completely stopped on this pill and my vulva and vagina became very dry and painful. I believe this contributed to my experiences of pain with penetration as this has resolved since I stopped taking the pill and started applying topical oestrogen (Ovestin)

I swapped from Yasmin to Qlaira when I was suspected to have endometriosis - I took it constantly with no withdrawal bleed and was very pleased with the results. I noticed my moods levelled out after having mood swings while on other pills, my skin cleared up and I only had pain during my few days of light withdrawal bleed. Over all I was very happy with it. I was told by my doctor that is it a newer pill and only recently being used to manage endometriosis.

I have never had a positive experience with the Pill before, it has always had a very negative effect on my mood. I started taking the pill due to feeling the effects of perimenopause. My periods were becoming more and more regular and the length of the bleed had increased, it wasn't heavy the whole time but more of a nuisance. My moods were a bit up and down but I monitored my cycle closely so knew when I'd feel rubbish. Qlaria has levelled me out. Total game changer for me and really improved my month to month experience. My period now lasts 4 days exactly, and I no longer have an up and down mood over the month. After ovulation I used to feel very low but that has gone now. Very pleased with this pill and suits me.

I tried Qlaira because it has a reputation of being better tolerated by hormone sensitive women like myself. I have PMDD that is now worsened by perimenopause. This was the best pill I have tried so far but still intolerable. I had to stop bc of breast pain,swelling,heaviness that didn't settled down after 2 packs (enlargement and pain was too life disruptive to make it through 3 packs). I went from a large C to a full D borderline DD and stuffed my bra with ice packs for minimal relief . Other than that, I didn't have weight gain in any other part of my athletic body (typically BCP means an instant low belly pooch and moon face for me despite being fit with a prestine diet) I experienced a better steady mood and my libido remained high. I had heart palpations that started 2 weeks into the first pack that went away when I stopped taking it (reported to doctor). I did not experience hair shedding after I stopped taking it which was great because every other pill I have taken causes hair shedding when I stop regardless of how long I took it. My breasts went back down to their normal size. Such a shame about the breast enlargement, otherwise it would have been the perfect pill!!!

I was prescribed this after lots of terrible peri meno symptoms. After a lot of research this seemed to be a good one to try. I’ve tried lots in the past and not got on with them but so far so good
