Established as Not Menstruating
Question
A woman takes contraception while nursing, so far for a month; but every time she took this pill while nursing after previous births, there were no menstrual bleedings at all!!! And we are talking about long periods of time. Does she need to keep the laws of “onah beinonis” (30-day period after last menstruation), and if so, does she need to also follow the stricture of 'Or Zarua'?
Answer
Greetings,
If a woman did not menstruate at her usual time three times while taking this pill, she does not have to keep the laws of the one who expects the onset of menstruation at any of the periods specified be Halachah.
