Question

Shalom u-vracha,
My wife takes birth control pills. She usually takes the pills continuously, but yesterday she missed one day and she began to bleed. The question arose that perhaps this is not menstrual blood but some other type of bleeding. Is such a thing possible? How should I conduct myself in such a situation?

Answer

Shalom u-vracha 

a. This is probably a menstrual period; it is common for this to happen when stopping the pills. 

b. It makes no difference whether it is a period or another type of bleeding; the very bleeding renders her forbidden.
