Without seeming to repeat myself 3 months is way too short a period for trying things out.
It took me
6 months plus to get into the groove with my HRT...
As for the Qlaira, it is estradiol valerate and dienogest mix.
The estradiol (mentioned as valerate version on some sites) is the same as the HRT options you see on this site.
The dienogest is the progesterone portion of the pill and is a 4th generation Progesterone.
The newer 3rd and 4th generation ones are supposed to be closer to our own hormone.
However this is a multiphasic pill which means that there are different levels of estrogen and dienogest during the month to give you the added preventative part of the pill

Qlaira contains 28 tablets in total over the month contain the following:
2 dark yellow tablets each containing 3mg estradiol valerate
5 medium red tablets each containing 2mg estradiol valerate and 2mg dionogest
17 light yellow tablets each containing 2mg estradiol valerate and 3mg dienogest
2 dark red tablets each containing 1mg estradiol valerate
2 white tablets do not contain any active substances
Please keep in mind that a
low dose HRT tends to have 1mg estradiol valerate each day over the full 28 days for comparison.
Hope you get success soon but don't be too impatient and give yourself time before jumping onto a new option.
