Qlaira started off pretty great after the 6 month window for symptoms to subside when starting new hormonal contraception. Being on it long term though, I've noticed symptoms such as low sex drive and fatigue. These symptoms are quite severe. It's been almost 5 years and I'm currently considering quitting hormonal birth control.

I have used Zoely, Yasminelle and Qlaira previously. i had really bad hormonal acne that was cured with accutane and i am on pills so that my hormones dont make my skin breakout again. Zoely and Yasminelle kept my skin clear but with Qlaira my skin has breakouts. Not bad as I had while having acne, but some pimples here and there. Also my periods are so random with this pill. Sometimes I have to worst period pain and ovulation pain and sometimes I dont have periods at all. Also my sex drive has lowered. I got back to Zoely, since that has been the best pill for me.

I’ve had low mood during the pre menstrual days while not on the pill, so it’s not something that’s really entirely new. But while on this pill I’ve noticed that each month I’m getting around 3 whole days where I’m really low energy, need to sleep more than usual, and feel irritated and depressed. Then after I bleed, those days I gradually start feeling better and “normal” again. I feel I need to try a different kind and I’m leaving this review for women that experience these mood swings to know that this pill has not helped me with this.
