I only started suffering migraines in my thirties (now 45) and they were always linked to my cycle in some way and any contraceptive pill made them worse.

They only stopped when I had hysterectomy and both ovaries removed.

No one ever believes me they were hormone related but clearly they were. All part of endo and everything else that messes with our hormone levels.

It's about finding the right balance of hormones so try a different pill or none or even HRT with it. Don't go as drastic as me as endo pain still there.
