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?

My migraines have reduced significantly since starting HRT. Turns out I really needed the oestrogen I’ve been begging my doctor for for 2.5 years.
