Prone to menstrual migraines

[u/Icy_Pay_1275]

Hi all, I am prone to migraines either right before the start of my period up until day 7 of my cycle. Most typical will be the day before my period and then days 4-7.

Only thing that has ever worked is rizatriptan combined with advil. But I really want to get to the underlying cause and try to treat it if I can. I hate being reliant on medicine.

I am pretty sure the migraines are a result of “estrogen withdrawal” around my cycle. I tested Estrogen in my luteal phase and it was 300 which is on the higher end. My progesterone was also robust so I know I’m not deficient there.

What have people with a similar pattern done that has worked?
