Medical eligibility criteria for contraceptive use. 5th Edition (accessed Sept 3, 2016) Combined hormonal contraceptives and migraine: An update on the evidence. Calhoun AH, Batur P. Cleve Clin J Med Aug;84(8): Progestin-only pills are unlikely to help in reducing migraine since they prevent ovulation only about half the time. Menstrually-related migraine without aura Diagnostic criteria: A.Attacks, in a menstruating woman, fulfilling criteria for 1.1 Migraine without aura and criterion B below B.Documented and prospectively-recorded evidence over at least three consecutive cycles has confirmed that attacks occur on day 1 ± 2 (ie, days 2 to +3) of menstruation in at least two out of three menstrual cycles, and additionally at other times of the cycle. Calhaun et Batur. Cleve Cin J Med In women with menstrual-related migraine, any decrease in estrogen level greater than 10 ug of ethinyl estradiol may trigger an estrogen-withdrawal migraine. Postmenopausal hormone therapy Neither smoking nor migraine is a contraindication of to the use of postmenopausal hormone therapy, which is substantially lower in dosage than combined hormonal contraceptives. Desogestrel 75 mcg/day, progestin-only pill significantly but modestly reduces the number of migraine attacks and migraine days. Calhaun et Batur. Cleve Cin J Med Progestin-only pill should be considered in women with migraine, particularly those with common contraindications to combined oral contraceptives use such as migrainous aura and hypertension. 4
