In the will of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid, letter 36, it is written: "A man should not refrain from being with his wife on the night she immerses." It is explained in the poskim that there is even a danger in this matter. In the responsa 'Zera Emet', part 2, letter 151, it is written from his teachers that she should not immerse for the purpose of lifting restrictions due to the aforementioned danger.
