Lost veset calendar
July 16, 2026

Question

I lost my calendar and only have my past 2 mikvah dates. What should I do for calculations? Thank you!

Answer

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Your first step is to see if you can reconstruct when your last flows began based on your mikveh dates. If you have the mikveh dates and there was no delay or disruption of the clean days, then a week earlier was the day of the hefsek taharah. Then, you can see if you can remember what day from bleeding the hefsek taharah was (e.g., on day five or six) and work that out on the calendar.

If you can reconstruct both dates, that is ideal. If you can only reconstruct your most recent date, that is sufficient to determine your onah beinonit and veset hachodesh.

If you cannot reconstruct anything, then you would not observe onot this month, but you should be especially cautious about having relations when you have any indication that bleeding is coming.

In addition to your veset calendar, you might also find it helpful to keep some type of basic record on your phone of the days on which your flows begin.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
