To @Mini:
If you have been taking Elin tablets regularly and have not used medications that may weaken their effectiveness - there is no need to worry, the protection is maintained and spotting/bleeding from withdrawal should appear in the coming days.
These drugs contain different excipients, so their absorption may vary slightly - this may affect the postponement of bleeding, especially in the first 2-3 cycles after switching to Elin.
I'll join the question and ask if it's possible for the body to feel a replacement? I used to take liberelle and spotting occurred even a week before the blister ended, now I took elin I am two days after the blister finish and I am waiting for the spotting. Should I be worried?

Liberelle and Elin are each other's counterparts. They contain the same active substances at the same dose, i.e. 250 micrograms of norgestimate and 35 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol. If you have lost a tablet of one of the preparations, you can use the other one instead.
I am attaching materials that may be helpful and links to websites where you can book Elin and Liberelle medicines:
