The answer

If a woman becomes pure from menstruation and is also in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), then a single ghusl (ritual bath) suffices for both if she intends them together, according to the majority of scholars. However, if she intends only one of them, there is a difference of opinion on the matter. Some say it does not suffice, based on the hadith: "Indeed, every person will have what he intended." Others say it does suffice, because she intended to remove the ritual impurity. So, if you intended to perform ghusl for both janabah and menstruation together, your ghusl is sufficient. And if you did not intend to perform ghusl for janabah, your ghusl is still sufficient according to one of the two opinions.
