Typically, a woman’s fertile window extends for twenty-four hours past ovulation. Based on what you write, it still should be possible for you to conceive. However, you may wish to consult a fertility specialist at this stage to
evaluate this and other potentially relevant factors.
On a halachic level, the
hefsek taharah and
bedikot need not be entirely clear. Light brown (lighter than coffee with milk), with no hint of a reddish tint, is an acceptable color. Questionable
bedikot or
stains (such as darker browns, or browns that might be reddish) are best brought for
evaluation rather than assumed to push off the
clean days. Please see our article “
Ovulating Before Immersion” for more information, and please get back to us with any further questions.
If the situation persists, you may also find it helpful to consult a Yoetzet Halacha Fertility Counselor. (This is a free service, details
here.)
