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!!!
