There is a tradition in Orthodox (not Conservative) to keep niddah like a zaav- meaning 4-5 bleeding days and then 7 additional clean days. In the Torah, niddda is 7 days and then mikveh. This was the way it was until the expulsion of the Jewish people when it was felt that people would get confused with the counting for niddah. My question is if the woman went to mikveh after the 7 days, is it ok bedieved? Thanks.

My question is if the woman went to mikveh after the 7 days, is it ok bedieved? These extra days seem like an addition to the original biblical law that are causing harm to many. Thanks.
