2963. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, intending only to perform Hajj. When we were in Sarif or close to Sarif, my menses came. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me when I was weeping. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Have your menses come?' I said: 'Yes'. He said: 'This is
something that Allāh has decreed for the daughters of Ādam. Do all the rites, but do not circumambulate the House.'" She said: "And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives." (Sahih)

Commentary
Basically, the acts during Hajj include staying at various places (Mina, Muzdalifah, and 'Arafāt), remembering Allāh and supplicating Him. So, menses and postnatal period are not an impediment for that.
Menses and bleeding period prevent the women from Tawāf of the Ka'bah and Sa'y of Safa and Marwah. Hence the time for performing them is flexible.
Sacrificing as many animals as possible is allowed. The Prophet ﷺ offered a hundred camels as sacrifice.
