Track your migraines and your period.

Use the Menstrual Migraine Tracker tool to record your migraines and your period.

If you have migraines, there's a good chance you get some of them around the time of your period. In fact, there's actually a Menstrual Migraine window. It's anywhere from 2 days before your period starts to the third day of your period, as supported by data from the “International Classification of Headache Disorders.”^1,2 Generally, you are more likely to have a migraine during this window.

Use this online tracker to record all of your migraines and your period, to help you determine if they may be connected. Print your summary and bring it to your healthcare provider to aid in discussing your symptoms.
