here are varying opinions about the number of
bedikot one performs during an
onah. Some say only one
bedikah at any point during the
onah is required, although there are opinions that require two (one at the beginning of the
onah, and another at the end) or even three (beginning, middle and end). Some authorities maintain that a
bedikah right after the
onah is also sufficient.
A
veset she’aino kavua is cancelled once the day passes and you do not begin menstruating. Therefore, even if you did not perform a
bedikah on the
onah, the
onah does not carry over and is not observed the following month.
If a woman inadvertently omits her
bedikot on her
onot perishah, she need not make up for them later. The exceptions are the
onah beinonit or a
veset kavua. If no
bedikot were performed on these
onot, relations may not resume until a
bedikah has been performed.
