Menstrual Migraine Log

A complete menstrual migraine log covering cycle timing, aura, medicine response, triggers, appointment prep, and perimenopause pattern changes.

Migraine attacks and period days can overlap. That does not prove one causes the other.

This log gives you one place to write down migraine timing, period timing, aura, medicine response, and possible triggers. It does not diagnose menstrual migraine or choose care for you.

Fast safety check

Get medical help right away if any of these are happening now.

Head pain came on all at once (thunderclap headache). This is the worst headache you have had. Fever or stiff neck. Confusion. Seizure. Double vision. Numbness or weakness. This started after a head injury. This headache feels new or very different. You feel unsafe waiting.

Do not use this log to decide if care can wait.

Before you start

Choose one place for short notes: paper, a local file, a spreadsheet, or Floriva if you want on device notes. Use the same words each time.

Question Your answer Last period start date Usual cycle length Are periods regular? Main migraine symptoms Aura history, if any Current hormones or birth control Medicines or supplements Main goal for tracking

Three month cycle and migraine log

Use one row per day. Write "none" on days without migraine if you can.

Date Cycle day Period day Migraine start time Pain 0 to 10 How long Main symptoms : : none / spotting / flow nausea, vomit, light, sound

American Migraine Foundation says a headache and menstrual diary can help a doctor review menstrual migraine timing, severity, and response to treatment. The Migraine Trust says a diary for at least three months can help show a link with period days.

Before period migraine days

Use this if migraine tends to start before bleeding.

Date Days until period Cycle day Start time Pain 0 to 10 Symptoms What changed today : : : nausea, vomit, light, sound sleep, stress, caffeine, food

AMF says attacks that start from two days before a period through the third day of flow may fit menstrual migraine. This table shows timing only. It does not prove the cause.

Aura and warning signs

Aura can matter for care choices, and some symptoms need prompt review.

Date What changed Start time End time One eye or both New for you? Headache before or after vision / speech / tingling / numbness / other yes / no

Check what happened:

Flashing lights, zigzag lines, spots, or blind spots. Blurry vision or vision loss. Tingling, numbness, or weakness. Trouble speaking, slurred speech, or trouble understanding words. Confusion. No aura signs.

Mayo Clinic says new, one eye, or changed visual symptoms, new headaches, weakness, or speech changes need prompt medical review. Do not drive during vision changes. Get urgent care now for sudden weakness, numbness, trouble speaking, confusion, seizure, or double vision.

Medicine list and response log

Write your current plan first. Copy amounts only from your label or care plan. Do not add an amount from memory.

Medicine name Why it is on my plan Amount from label or plan Who gave the plan? migraine / nausea / prevention / other

Date Time Medicine name Amount from plan Symptoms before Relief after Side effects pain, nausea, light, sound none / some / good sleepy, dizzy, nausea, other

This table is a record, not a dosing guide. Do not start, stop, change, or repeat medicine because of this log. Ask your clinician or pharmacist first.

Possible trigger comparison

Use this on migraine days and on a few non migraine days. The quiet days matter too.

Date Sleep Meals Caffeine Alcohol Stress Light, sound, or smell Weather Migraine? usual / less / more usual / skipped usual / more / less yes / no low / medium / high none / strong changed / same yes / no

Mayo Clinic lists possible migraine triggers, including hormonal changes, alcohol, caffeine, stress, sensory stimuli, sleep changes, exertion, weather, medicines, foods, and skipped meals. This table can show a pattern. It cannot prove that one item caused an attack. If the same factor shows up on many non migraine days too, the link may be weak.

Perimenopause pattern notes

Use this if hot flashes, night sweats, or irregular cycles are part of the picture.

Date Cycle day Bleeding Sleep Hot flashes Night sweats Migraine? none / spotting / flow good / broken / poor 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 yes / no

Rating key: 0 none, 1 mild, 2 clear, 3 strong or disruptive.

Mayo Clinic says estrogen changes during menstrual periods, pregnancy, and perimenopause can trigger migraine attacks for some people. This table does not diagnose a perimenopause migraine link.

Three cycle summary

After a few cycles, look at the timing.

Question Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Period start date Migraine started how many days before period Migraine also happened during period Migraine happened at other cycle times Worst pain score Longest attack Missed work, school, care, or plans Main worry

Questions to ask a clinician

Pick the ones that fit your visit.

Could my migraine pattern be tied to my cycle? What else could explain these symptoms? How many cycles should I track? Should I track aura in a special way? Could my current medicine cause problems if I use it often? What should I do if I vomit during an attack? Do my aura notes change what treatment options are safe for me? Should I see a headache clinician, gynecologist, or both? What symptoms mean I should seek urgent care?

Do not start supplements, hormones, or migraine medicine because of this page.

Short visit script

"My migraine attacks seem to happen near my period. I brought dates, symptoms, aura notes, and medicine notes. Can we review whether this pattern matters and what choices are safe for me?"

Privacy note

Migraine notes can include period dates, aura, medicine use, pregnancy plans, sex, stress, sleep, and missed work. Bring a short summary first and ask what needs to go in your chart.

Floriva can keep cycle and symptom notes on your device. That can reduce server copies. It does not make notes fully private exports, backups, screenshots, shared devices, and medical records can still carry your data.
