I may be a tiny bit late, but Qlaira appears to have dienogest AND estradiol. And:

The biologically active estrogen, estradiol, aggravates the pathological processes (e.g., inflammation and growth) and the symptoms (e.g., pain) associated with endometriosis

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

As such, I would go with pure Dienogest (Visanne). I myself had a pretty positive experience with it, as a 3 month course partially alleviated my pelvic pain. I tolerated it fine, except some hair loss and hot flashes.

The purpose of Qlaira is not endo treatment but contraception.
