Qlaira pill and lighter periods

Start of it was great, made my periods less painful and lighter. After a while periods came back to lasting a long time, got extreme period pains, discharge in my nipple, blood clot in my leg and they said it was dangerous to continue it’s use since I’m a smoker.

I was prescribed this by a gynecologist to treat PMDD. It has worked amazingly, my mood has been very stable since I started it 10 months ago. My symptoms are gone, my energy levels are normal, I’ve been more patient with the kids. The only issues are hair loss when I started (which sorted itself out after a few months), low sex drive (but it was low any way). The only issue is the slight clotting risk due to oestrogen, it fills me with fear. It is supposed to be lower than other combined pills but due to my age and other risk factors it concerns me. I am considering trying Slynd to see if it has a similar effect, but I’d happily go back to this if need be. A very good pill!

overall, i am very pleased with the qlaira pill. i have been using it for 11 months now, after first using the ‘regular’ birth-control pill. i switched because the regular pill gave me very heavy mood swings and depressive feelings. this is something that i have not experienced while using qlaira. i do, however, feel a bit more sensitive around certain places on my body. i usually do not wish to be touched on intimate places by my partner, which is a side effect of this contraceptive. my cycles are now very regular, and my period usually lasts only 2/3 days. i definitely recommend this pill to anyone who has experienced heavy side effects from a regular birth control pill.
