I was hesitant to post about this, because it seems to be a practical
question, but if we're talking theory why should she need to toveil for
taharas hamishpacha? Non Jews aren't normally assurah mishum nidda (H.
Issurei Biah 4:4, Tshuvos HaRadbaz 6:2094), and at the time she becomes
Jewish she's not in a state of nidda ("the timing that would normally be
required l’tzorech taharas hamishpocha" is after seven clean days).
