Side effects of Ella: I have not heard of this side effect. But given the need to taking this, and if the sexual partner's health history is not known to you, then consider other problems, if you are not prone to vaginal discharge at this time of your cycle. If the discharge persists beyond a week or more, and/or new annoy symptoms develop, then see your PCP or GYN, for a complete exam.
