Perimenapause onah

Question:

Going through peri-menopause and skipped an onas hachodesh what should I do period is irregular at this point

Answer:

Hello,

If you had three periods on that day of the month, for example if you saw on the 3rd of Nissan Iyar and Sivan, then seeing on the 3rd of the month becomes a permanent veses, and it is not broken unless you skip the 3rd of the month 3 times. However as with most women, who don’t have such regular periods, after it was missed once, it is broken and you don’t have to worry about it, and for the nnext period, you would count the new day as the yom hachodesh.

Best wishes
