Fresh cheeses are not allowed during Induction. "Extended Induction" just means you are continuing Induction phase beyond the 14 days, but are still following the Induction rules and Induction food list.

As for stalling with ricotta, yes, it happens. I stalled with ricotta when I added it to my OWL menu.

No ricotta on extended, but maybe if you are getting bored with your choices, its time to move up

From the Induction Acceptable Foods list:

Cheese
You can consume three to four ounces daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and semi-soft aged cheeses*, including:

cheddar
cow, sheep and goat cheese
cream cheese
Gouda
mozzarella
Roquefort and other blue cheeses
Swiss
*All cheeses have some carbohydrate content. The quantity you eat should be governed by that knowledge. The rule of thumb is to count 1 ounce of cheese as equivalent to 1 gram of carbohydrate. Note that cottage cheese, farmer's cheese and other fresh cheeses are not permitted during Induction. No "diet" cheese, cheese spreads or whey cheeses are permitted. Individuals with known yeast symptoms, dairy allergy or cheese intolerance must avoid cheese. Imitation cheese products are not allowed, except for soy or rice cheese but check the carbohydrate content.

Fresh cheeses are cheeses that are not aged. So cottage cheese, ricotta, farmer's cheese, chevre fraiche (fresh goat cheese), etc. are not permitted during Induction, per the foods list.
