Women's Issues

Q: My question for today is I did ghusul on 18th of May but from 23rd I am spotting blood and despite spotting blood I was still praying and on 26th I was fasting again despite spotting blood. I told one Muslim lady and she told me my fasting is makrooh so I had to open my fast. I didn't pray on the 26th till the 28th but I did ghusul and I am fasting on the 29th but in the morning again I spotted blood so I just wanted to know am I allowed to fast and pray despite blood spotting or not?

Q: I have what I think is a huge problem especially with the holy month of Ramadaan coming. I am a married woman who was on the 3 month injection/contraceptive for 4 years, this made me gain weight so I decided to go off the injection and went  on the loop instead. This was in November last year. Since i'm on the loop I've been spotting/bleeding (not a real menstruation) but the sister told me that it would take up to +-9 months to work out. My question is, with me spotting on and off when and how do I know when I'm clean enough to perform salaah and also fast in the month of ramadaan if this continues? When I say I spot on and off, I spot a whole week and clear for like 3-5 days and just continue spotting again. Please advise as to what and how I go about this.
