Veset after dam betulim
November 5, 2002

Question

I got my period 25 days ago and just today I saw dam betulim for the first time. I know I am considered a niddah but should I mark of an interval of 25 days on my veset calendar?

Answer

Your veset/onah is determined by when you last had your period. While dam betulim gives you the status of niddah, you do not start to count a veset from that date.
