Rabbi Willig claims that even today there is hargashah, but because we are 
running around all day, we aren't attuned to our bodily developments. IIRC, 
he believes that at the time when taharot were being treated, women would 
separate on their day of onah and wait to see when what will happen.

Another theory is that artificial lighting and other modern amenities have 
upset our biological clocks and sent them out of whack.

I let the 'hevrah speculate on which is a better guess and whether there are 
other plausible theories.

Kind regards,
