Long cycles, vesatot & not knowing when to expect period

Bleeding from polyp after menopause

I am menopausal and have not had my period for 2.5 years. Last week I felt strong cramping and saw blood in the toilet as well as on my underwear. I had staining and hargashot for about 3 days. I went to my doctor who told me that he thought it may be a p...

Onot after Mirena replacement

Last cycle I had staining during my white days and had to go to Mikvah only 5 days before my next period is due. So I am taking, as a one off, hormonal pills to extend my cycle by a week.

Staining two days before period – veset haguf?

For the past six cycles (at least – I just wasn't consciously aware of it before then), I have had a small bleed (less than the size of a penny) exactly 2 days prior to my period, which is always on Rosh Chodesh. Would this count as a veset haguf?

Stain on onah, didn’t do bedikah

My interval ona was yesterday during the day. I was not able to do a bdika that day, but I saw a ketem on white which wasn't clear if it was tahor or not.
I made a bdika in the evening (after the ona had already passed) and the bdika was not tahor.<...

Conduct after vesatot, before period

Irregular period going off pill

I recently went off birth control pills to try to get pregnant. My period (I don't even know if it was really considered a period) was very unusual. I had bleeding for a day and a half and it was 5 days later than expected. I am not pregnant. How do I go ...
