Question
I usually immerse on the eve of Yom Kippur or the night before, every year. The question is, if the night of immersion falls two days before Yom Kippur, is it considered an immersion for the eve of Yom Kippur, or is it necessary to go again on the eve of Yom Kippur?
Answer
There are those who hold that a woman should not immerse on the eve of Yom Kippur within three days of her last immersion, due to the concern that she may have conceived and it could harm the pregnancy.
Source
See Mishnah Berurah (Siman 637, Se'if Katan 21), and in Shulchan Aruch HaRav (there, Se'if 3) it is written that she should not immerse at all.
