Migraine Before Period Tracker

A simple tracker for migraines before a period, with notes for timing, pain, symptoms, possible triggers, what helped, and care questions.

Some migraines happen before a period starts.

This tracker helps you write down when that happens.

It does not tell you why.

It does not say you have menstrual migraine.

Contact a clinician for new or worrying symptoms.

Call if symptoms are severe, sudden, or changed.

Seek urgent care for a thunderclap headache.

Seek urgent care for fever or stiff neck.

Seek urgent care for confusion, seizures, or double vision.

Seek urgent care for numbness or weakness.

Seek urgent care after a head injury.

Seek urgent care for a headache that feels very different.

Before period migraine log

Use this when head pain starts 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

If your period starts later, come back and fill in the days.

Period start note

Fill this in once bleeding starts.

Question Your note First day of full flow Did migraine start before flow? How many days before flow? Did migraine continue after flow started? Did pain change after flow started? Did nausea or vomiting happen? Did light or sound sensitivity happen? Did aura signs happen?

This helps show timing. It does not prove the cause.

Aura and red flag notes

Mark any aura signs.

Flashing lights. Blind spots. Vision loss. Tingling. Numbness. Trouble speaking. No aura signs.

Get care right away if these signs are new, severe, sudden, changed, or worrying.

What I took, if anything

Use this only as a record.

Time What I took or did Did it help? Side effects or concerns yes, no, unsure

Do not use this page to pick a medicine or amount.

Ask a clinician or pharmacist.

Three cycle summary

After three periods, 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

Bring this summary to care. A clinician can review the pattern.

Questions to ask

Could this timing matter? What else could cause migraine before a period? What symptoms mean I should seek urgent care? What should I track for the next three months? Should I track period days and migraine days together? Do my aura notes matter for care choices? Should I talk with a headache clinician? Should I talk with a gynecologist?

Short message to a clinician

"They started days before bleeding in cycle 2."

"They started days before bleeding in cycle 3."

Add any new, severe, sudden, changed, or worrying symptom first.
