A woman recognizes purity from menstruation by two signs: dryness (the cotton comes out clean), or the white discharge (white fluid). Whenever one of these signs is confirmed, becomes obligatory.
Some scholars permit waiting a day or half a day for a woman who experiences dryness during her habitual period.
If a woman performs ghusl believing she is pure, then it becomes clear that her menstruation has not ceased, her prayer is invalid, but she is not required to make up the obligatory prayer. Therefore, not making up Tarawih prayers is even more appropriate.
