Question
Calculating period with pills? How is the calculation done Like a woman with a regular cycle Or like a woman without a regular cycle There are those who take pills but are not sure it arrives on the same date. I would appreciate a detailed answer for the benefit of the public.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
I am copying from the file of the laws of purity by our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
A woman taking pills that delay the cycle during their intake, and after stopping them, the cycle arrives shortly:
- If she knows how long after stopping the pills she sees, she should be cautious of that time. A few hours before, she should refrain from fulfilling the mitzvah, but hugging and kissing are permitted until the blood arrives.
- If she does not know, she should be cautious two days after stopping the pills, as this is usually the time women see after stopping the pills.
Note: There are pills intended for use during breastfeeding that do not cause blood to appear immediately after stopping, and sometimes it is delayed for several weeks. In such a case, there is no need to be concerned until the blood actually arrives.
