The impression I got from RARakeffetR was that now that the option exists,
some poesaqim prefer IVH (in vitro fertilization with the husband's sperm)
to being meiqil. (For anyone. Doubly so if rumor of this heter might
relay the message that 7 neqi'im isn't "real".) If that's the route
they take, it's likely the poseiq would advise two tevilos:
Once, after niddah deOraisa, so that any consequent velad would definitely
not have the pegam of being a ben niddah; and
A 2nd time as per most couples, to fulfil the minhag Yisrael of 5 +
7 neqi'im.

Tir'u baTov!
