Stain after stopping birth control pills
Question
Hello,
I wanted to ask: a woman who, after childbirth (second birth), took birth control pills (Cerazette) and stopped taking them three weeks ago (after taking them for a year and a half) and now saw a stain (a very small dot) on a tissue, and also feels pain. The question is whether there is a rule of abstaining close to menstruation in such a situation (there is no regular cycle)?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello
A stain smaller than a 'gris' [= like a two-shekel coin] does not render impure.
However, due to the pain, one should wait a few hours before permitting, to ensure it is not the beginning of menstruation.
