Good day, everyone! Today my doctor suggested trying Klaira because I had side effects from Jess: increased blood pressure and triglycerides. Girls, who have taken this drug, how was it for you? Were there any side effects? The birth control was prescribed due to a functional cyst.
Starting the second pack... It was prescribed for endometriosis.
Well, I don't know. Seems like there are no side effects... knock on wood. My legs did hurt... and still do... but I can't blame it on Qlaira. I have varicose veins... so it's hard to say...
Spotting started on day 10. I haven't really had a proper period... But that doesn't scare me)
And it's all individual anyway...

I'm also taking Yaz, and I'm thinking of switching to this medication now, but the reviews aren't exactly favorable((((

Hi! I've been taking Jess for over a year now, and everything's fine—no side effects at all. In fact, I feel somehow lighter, my periods are easy, and I don't get any pimples. As for Klaira, I know it's a new low-hormone option. My friend was prescribed it, and she seems satisfied too.

I don't know about Klaira, it seems to be very new! But I take Jess myself! It suits me very well and works perfectly for me.

After giving birth, I took Charozetta, and now the baby is already a year old, I've stopped breastfeeding. The doctor also mentioned Klaira, saying I could try it. I want to take pills because we're waiting a bit before having a second child, I don't want an IUD, and other methods are unreliable. I just don't know, I'll have to choose... I need to look up info about Klaira!

I'm on my first month of taking Klaira, everything is fine, except my breasts have enlarged, I have 2 pills left until the end of the pack, and my period has started.... Is this normal??? I just read reviews before starting to take it, and many people say that their periods come like clockwork...
If anyone has experience, please share!

It's been three months since I started taking them, and my cycle has really stabilized. Otherwise, I feel good, and I'm happy with everything. We're planning to have a child in about two years, so I started taking the pills. I don't want to get pregnant ahead of time)))

In Omsk, they're available in just a few pharmacies... I buy them at "Zdrava," where they cost around 800 rubles, give or take 15 rubles.

Girls, why are all the pills in Klaira different colors? Just wanted to check before starting to take them, just in case.
Анна
[2699078812]
#16
Well, if I understood correctly, based on the instructions, different colors indicate different amounts of female sex hormones in the pill... If you read the page "What to do if you miss a pill," you can figure out which days are dangerous and which are less so, and apparently, this is also indicated by the color.

The pills are different colors because they contain varying hormone levels, which correspond to a woman's natural menstrual cycle.
Dark yellow (2 pills)
Estrogen-3mg
Pink (5 pills)
Estrogen-2mg
Progestin-2mg
Pale yellow (17 pills)
Estrogen-2 mg
Progestogen-3mg
Red (2 pills)
Estrogen-1mg

I've been taking Claire for 6 months now, everything's fine, my weight stayed the same, my periods normalized, no pain. Awesome!
I'm having my period for the second time after taking Qlaira, with just a week in between!!!! This is a nightmare! I won't take them anymore. Even though I followed the instructions.

Natalia, how long did you take them?
Actually, cycle shifts can happen when the body is adjusting from one hormonal rhythm to another.

I have the same diagnosis. I've been taking this medication for a week now and haven't noticed any side effects yet.

The gynecologist prescribed Klaira to regulate my cycle. I'm on my second pack, everything seems fine, but my breasts hurt, they've gotten bigger, it's uncomfortable to touch, and it's painful. They feel relatively soft though. I haven't told the doctor, thinking maybe my body is just adjusting. Girls, please explain—is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

Yes, that can happen!
But you really should talk to your doctor about it!
Anna, did you read the instructions?? They are supposed to start on the first white pill—the placebo. That's the whole point, you don't need to take breaks between packs.
Анна
[2699078812]
#31
Of course I read it! That's not the point at all )))
Your period might start earlier, meaning you could have some pills left over, but on the first day, you absolutely must start a new pack!!! (I consulted with a doctor)

Good evening, everyone!
I'm on my second month of taking Qlaira (switched from Yaz). Right after I started taking it after my period (4 days in), sorry, I had spotting (for about 5 days), and after finishing the pack, my period didn't come at all. Now I've started another pack and have already taken 2 pills, but still no period. The test is negative, I don't know what to think.(( When does it start for others? And is this even normal?
Анна
[2699078812]
#33
Olga!
I can only share my experience regarding the last of your questions )
My period didn't start at the beginning of the 3rd pack. The gynecologist said - this is normal, the body is adjusting to a new rhythm, and there are no periods because the endometrium hardly grows or grows very little... But if it doesn't happen for the second time in a row, you must definitely see a doctor!!!

I started taking the medication Klaira on the first day of my cycle. These are my first combined oral contraceptives. How many days do I need to use additional protection to avoid the risk of pregnancy? And, while taking this medication, can my partner ejaculate inside the vagina?
Additional protection is needed for another 9 days (for example, barrier contraceptives). And if you missed a pill, the same rule applies: use another form of protection for the next 9 days.

Hello! I have the same thing... I'm on my first month of Qlaira, for contraception... my breasts hurt terribly, even though they never hurt before, not even during my period.
The doctor said it's normal, part of the adjustment... And the instructions list breast pain as a side effect.

No additional protection is needed, as you are taking COCs from the first day of your menstrual cycle.

When I read the instructions, I was scared to start!!! But now I'm already nearing the end of the second package—everything is great. I haven't gained any weight at all (knock on wood). My facial skin has gotten a bit better, clearer. My stomach didn't hurt at all during my period, though it came five days early!!! Mostly pros, no real cons to speak of :)

I'm on my first pack, almost finished, today I took the white pill (placebo), no period, my legs have been hurting for two weeks, today it's really bad, I'm terrified of getting a blood clot, maybe I'm just overthinking it.
Анна
[2699078812]
#42
Well, of course!!!
What kind of advice is that now!!!
You need to use protection for the first 9 days, barrier methods for example.
Ladies! Who do they write the instructions for???? Just for fun or what?

Reputable companies always have detailed instructions because they are based on serious research, so there's nothing to fear. And they are obligated to explain everything...

Of course, we'll give advice!
If a woman starts taking COCs from the FIRST day of her menstrual cycle—additional protection is not needed; if starting on subsequent days—yes, in that case, additional contraception is necessary.

I took Qlaira for 2 months, and my period still hasn't come. After the first pack, I went to the doctor, and she said it didn't suit me, to finish the pack and go back to Jess. I finished the pills, but my period still hasn't come. I'm terribly worried... I decided not to take oral contraceptives for now. I've heard that the cycle usually restores within 2-3 months.

I once took Diane-35 (barely survived 3 months) and Marvelon (1.5 months). Absolute garbage! It's been 15–18 years, but I remember those months as the worst in my life in terms of how I felt—I was angry, irritable, constant nausea, weight gain, no libido. May those doctors stay healthy! They prescribed it for an ovarian cyst. There's a new great medication for cysts—Lomexin—no side effects. Dissolves instantly. Better to use condoms than be angry and frigid! Now, after a miscarriage, they'll prescribe Yasmin, Janine, or Qlaira. I'll study the instructions and shove them in the doctors' faces during consultations, because they're used to making money off us and our children! Better to get good condoms than destroy your liver, kidneys, nervous system, stomach, etc. They need to be healthy for carrying a baby.

I've been taking Qlaira for 3 months, and I like it... I had never used hormonal contraceptives before! I was really afraid of gaining weight... but I don't even feel like I'm taking pills... my weight is stable... but many girls say that from Yasmin they lose weight, but as a side effect—very severe headaches (the doctor says if that happens, you need to stop taking it. Like, it doesn't suit you)... I want to try it starting next month, maybe I'll lose weight too... although Qlaira suits me 100%.

Here's more - for the first two months, my period came twice. The first time was as described in the instructions with a specific pill, and the second time was as usual without pills... not heavy and short, so it didn't bother me... and it's mentioned in the instructions (because the body is getting used to the pills)... now everything is fine, the main thing is to take them at the same time every day... it's also convenient that you don't need to take any breaks, you just take them day after day and don't have to think about anything... and also, for the last 3 months since I started taking them, I haven't had a single hint of a pimple on my face (I didn't really suffer from them before, but a few would periodically appear before my period, and now they don't)) I don't know if it's related to using the medication, but I like the result... in general, give it a try, maybe it will work for you like it did for me... it's all individual!
