Discharge of a
niddah color on a
bedikah that you performed during an
onah would make you
niddah.
However, a light brown with no hint of a reddish tint (e.g., the color of coffee with milk or lighter) is
not a
niddah color and does not make a woman
niddah under any circumstances. If the color you see fits this descripton, you would not be in
niddah from these
bedikot. If you are unsure whether the brown has a reddish tint, you should bring the
bedikah for
evaluation by a halachic authority.
If you consistently experience this type of staining within a day of the beginning of your blood flow, that might have significance for calculating
vesatot. Please let us know if that is the case, with more details about what you see and how you see it..
Please be in touch with any further questions.
