Frustrated with irregular spotting

I have been having irregular spotting between periods. I’ve had a minor surgery to figure out what was wrong. It seems I have an unusually shaped uterus and have been told because of its shape it tends to shed its lining long after my period is actu...

Omitting moch and reducing bedikot five months postpartum

I am now nearly 5 months after my 3rd birth and this is my second period. I was wondering whether it is essential to do a moch? I am currently having very bad pain during my period and feel that the entire area is swollen and very sore, it seems to get wo...

Plaster cast

I got my period recently, and in principle should be ready to go to the mikva at the end of next week.
The problem is that I broke a bone and have an unremovable (and unwashable) plaster cast on my arm, which is supposed to be on for 3+ more weeks (...

Bleeding from tubal ligation

I am having a tubal ligation done. I have a psak from a well known Rabbi, so the ligation is not an issue.
After the procedure, I will have bleeding from the tubes being cut that will go from the tubes, thr...

Continuous spotting with IUD

I am on the IUD after receiving the Psak to choose this instead of nuva ring etc because of side effects I had with hormones.

Staining on seventh day bedikah, dam makkah?

I've been having great difficulty in getting clean bedikos. Twice now, on the supposed mikva day, I've had staining on the second bedika. The morning bedikos have been fine. I believe I have a prolapsed bladder or uterus and there is usually some amount o...

Forgot to switch to white

I am just getting over the flu and a bit "out of it". I am doing the bedikos (all fine) and did the hefsek and moch (fine), bu...

Extended staining in clean days

I just gave birth 6 months ago and breastfed my daughter until 4 weeks ago. During the time I was breastfeeding, my period came every two months. Three weeks ago, my period came back again.
After 7 days, I did a hefsek taharah and moch. Both came ou...

Still spotting ten weeks postpartum

I’m 10 weeks post partum and still niddah. I’ve been light spotting on and off and can’t manage to get a clean bedika for more than a day.
Are there any halachic loopholes around this?
I need a hug from my husband, it’s b...

Abdominal hematoma after c-section

I am 9 weeks postpartum and have still not been able to get to mikvah. My birth was an unplanned c section, with significant adhesions noted when the incision was being closed. I have continued seeing dark red/brown staining (on minipads) throughout the w...
