עד שהוא נתון תחת הכר. הבגד שמקנחת בו את עצמה בשעת תשמיש, קרוי עד:
דם עגול טהור. דדם מאכולת הוא:
משוך טמא. ואם טפה משוכה היא, טמאה, שחזקתה שהיא ממנה, ובעת שקנחה עצמה נתלה זה הדם בעד:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Niddah Perek 9 Mishnah 1
נדה פרק ט׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
האשה שהיא עושה צרכיה - urinates.
אם עומדת טמאה – since we say that urine that returns to the interior of the womb [from where the menses are discharged] and blood comes from the interior of the womb together.
יושבת טהורה – In the Gemara (Tractate Niddah 59b in the words of Rabbi Abba) we establish that while she is siting on the edge of the bowl/basin and the urine splashes/brings forth an uninterrupted jet into it with power, but there is no path for the blood of the interior of the womb to go out with the urine, but if after the water has stopped, this blood comes from the interior of the womb, the blood was not found within the bowl /basin, but on the edge, for the blood that comes from the interior of the womb flows gently/comes down slowly and does not splash/bring forth an uninterrupted jet, but this blood that is found within the bowl/basin perforce comes from the place of the urine and there is a force there, but not from the interior of the womb. But while she is standing at the edge of the basin and splashes an uninterrupted jet within the bowl, it was not possible to straighten her up, for when she is standing it is impossible for her to splash/bring forth an uninterrupted jet, for this reason it was necessary for the Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] to hold [the tradition] of “sitting.”
רבי יוסי אומר בין כך ובין כך טהורה – and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
האשה שהיא עושה צרכיה. משתנת מים:
אם עומדת טמאה. דאמרינן מי רגלים הדור למקור ואתא דם מן המקור בהדייהו:
יושבת טהורה. בגמרא מוקמינן לה ביושבת על שפת הספל ומקלחת מי רגלים לתוכו בחוזק. וכשהיא מקלחת בחוזק, אין דרך דם המקור לצאת עם מי רגלים. ואי לבתר דתמו מיא בא דם זה מן המקור, לא היה הדם נמצא בתוך הספל אלא על שפת הספל, שדם הבא מן המקור, שותת ויורד ואינו מקלח. ודם זה שנמצא בתוך הספל, על כרחך ממקום מי רגלים בא ומכה יש בה שם, ולא מן המקור. ובעומדת על שפת הספל ומקלחת בתוך הספל, לא היה אפשר להעמידה, דעומדת אי אפשר לה לקלח, ולהכי איצטריך תנא למנקט יושבת:
רבי יוסי אומר בין כך ובין כך טהורה. והלכה כרבי יוסי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

עד שהוא נתון תחת הכר – the clothing that uses to clean/wipe herself at the time of sexual intercourse is called a “testing or examining rag”/piece of cloth used by women for ascertaining their condition of cleanness or uncleanness
דם עגול טהור – for it is the blood of a louse.
משוך טמא – but if it is an elongated drop, it is impure, for the presumption is that it (i.e., the bloodstain) is from it, and at the time that she wiped herself, she blames this blood on the examining rag.
דברי ר' אליעזר בר ר' צדוק – and such is the Halakha.
