Question:

Can I continue my wazifa (yah haseebu and surah Ikhlas) while I have my monthly periods

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

A menstruating woman is prohibited from reciting Qur’ān. She is also prohibited from performing Salah, fasting and performing Tawāf.

You may continue to recite your Wazifa’s if it was your habit to do so when pure. [Radd al-Muhtār: vol. 1, pg. 293] [1]

Only Allāh Ta’ālā knows best.
