Menstrual migraine diary: record cycle timing
Keep headache dates next to bleeding dates to prepare a discussion about timing. This template records observations; it does not diagnose menstrual migraine or recommend hormonal treatment.

How to use this worksheet
- Mark the first bleeding day using the same convention each cycle.
- Record headache timing and relevant medication separately.
- Include cycle dates without headache, not only symptomatic days.
Use actual dates, including uncertainty or irregular cycles. A pattern across several cycles is more informative than one overlap. Share the record with your clinician before changing treatment.
