Niddah 9:10-11

Niddah 9:10

If a woman’s period typically started on the fifteenth of the month but then it changed and started on the twentieth, she is prohibited to her husband on both days. If it changed to the twentieth twice, she is prohibited to her husband on both days.

This is because a fixed time is only established when it happens three times and an existing fixed time is not eliminated until it fails to occur three times.
