The time of the examination on the day of the veset
Question
At what point during the days of separation (yemei perisha) should the examination be done?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha,
For a fixed cycle (veses kavua) – she must check twice during the onat ha-veset (anticipated time).
For an irregular cycle (veses she’eino kavua), - it is sufficient to perform one check at the end of the onah.
For the average cycle (onah beinonit) – she should check twice during the anticipated time, because the onah beinonit is treated with the same stringency as a fixed cycle.
