I'm terrified. Period 05.03 . Cycles every 26, today I should have my period. Sex was 11,12,13,14. Intermittent. 14 I took ella One. On 15.03 there was also intermittent sex. My partner reassures me that there was nothing in me. Today I should have my period but the lack of it, instead of a period, is a white discharge quite thick. Can ella one postpone my period? Tomorrow I have a gynecologist. Please calm down..

ellaOne works mainly by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, which significantly reduces the risk of conception. The situation does not pose a risk of conception, so you can rest assured.
As for menstruation, its occurrence depends on the individual reaction of the body. In most women, menstruation occurs on the expected date or with a slight delay (±7 days). However, some people may experience a delay of more than 7 days, and in rare cases more than 20 days. The tablet may also cause changes in the intensity of bleeding, such as spotting or heavier bleeding.
So if someone took a pill and took it after ovulation, then menstruation normally occurred, right? Because logically, such a pill should delay menstruation since it inhibits ovulation

Yes, EllaOne can delay menstruation and, in some cases, even stop it temporarily. This is because it affects ovulation and hormonal balance.
My friend also answered a similar question in the thread:
And could it have slowed down so much that the period will not appear?

Yes, you can rest assured.
Ms. Angelika, so she could have inhibited herself? Intercourse was also interrupted the day after taking the pill. I should have had my period yesterday and here nothing.. can I be calm ?

A pill taken before the expected ovulation is able to inhibit it practically 100%. There is no need to worry.
You can go for a check-up visit to the gynecologist, but there is no risk of pregnancy.
Perhaps it is worth consulting a psychologist. Here you can take advantage of teleconsultations:

I have anxiety disorders. I had 2 births but it was about 10 years ago. A terrible trauma. The vision of tests scares me, because traumatic moments come back. So I did the right thing to sign up for a gynecologist? It also scares me, but I've been stressed for 2 weeks. My head hurts all the time. If according to the calendar ovulation was supposed to be on Saturday / Sunday and I took the pill on Friday evening, it could have postponed ovulation, right? Ehh

Yes, your doctor can tell you if you have conceived by using an ultrasound and laboratory tests, such as blood beta-hCG levels.
However, at a very early stage of pregnancy, a standard gynecological examination may not give a clear answer. When it comes to predicting menstruation, the doctor can assess the phase of the cycle based on the appearance of the endometrium on ultrasound, but this will not give one hundred percent certainty.
If you are concerned about a pregnancy test, remember that this is the easiest and fastest way to get an answer.

Is the doctor able to tell if conception has occurred or if the period is coming soon? I'm terrified of the test.

Yes, ellaOne can postpone your period by up to a few days because it affects ovulation and hormonal balance. In some cases, menstrual bleeding may be delayed for more than 7 days.
Ellaone inhibits ovulation, but if ovulation has occurred earlier, the pill does not work. Not all women prevent pregnancy. Theoretically, ovulation occurs in the middle of the cycle, but please remember that this is not always the case because it is influenced by many factors such as stress, lifestyle, travel, diet changes, etc.
White discharge is not a worrying symptom and may result from natural hormonal changes. The use of the intermittent method does not give 100% protection, but if the partner has not ejaculated in the vagina, the risk of pregnancy is low.
A visit to the gynaecologist is a good step – the doctor can assess the situation and possibly recommend a pregnancy test to be sure. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
