We’re sorry to hear of your difficulty becoming tehorah. Not all stains make you niddah. See our article on ketamim for further details. These leniencies apply even during the clean days and, if applicable, you would be able to continue counting.

If your stains were small (less than the size of a dime or a shekel), and were found externally (not on a bedikah), they would not invalidate your clean days. If they do not satisfy this or other conditions for leniency laid out in the ketamim article, than you would indeed have to make a new hefsek taharah and count seven more days. If the problem continues, please get back to us with more details. There are both halachic and medical interventions that can be applied when needed.
