If the questioner is suffering from obsessive doubts, she should not pay attention to the delusions that occur to her regarding the attainment of purity. If she is not suffering from obsessive doubts, then she must not perform (ritual bath) from menstruation until she is certain and convinced of seeing the sign of purity. This is because the default state is the continuation of menstruation until certainty of its cessation is achieved. So, if she doubts whether purity has been attained or not, the default is that it has not been attained.
