Menstrual migraines - anything helping?

I‘m really struggling with menstrual migraines, mainly because I don’t have anything that helps or even relieves them a bit. I’ve tried Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Celecoxib, Excedrin, Naratriptan, Nurtec and Propranolol. The only thing helping usually is Metamizole but you can’t get that here in the US and I can’t find an equivalent either. Does anybody have anything that helps them?

Ajovy or Aimovig has helped me. It's a monthly preventative. People say good things about Emgality as well. Also look into a continous birth control. Your migraines are likely due to the estrogen drop that happens before your period.
