What treatments are there for women with hormone induced migraines that occur daily?

Same as migraines: It does not matter what triggers the migraines. The treatment in your case would be prophylactic medications for migraines and abortive for breakthrough headaches. Avoid triggers if you can.

Identify triggers: There are certain foods and aspects of lifestyle that can trigger or worsen headaches and migraines. The best way to identify triggers is to maintain a headache diary and keep a list of foods eaten before your migraine. Common triggers include chocolate, caffeine, cheese, msg, processed meats, alcohol, smoking/being around smoke, stress, skipping meals, lack of sleep or too much sleep.

Yes: as far as I can see in my practice, progesterone supplementation taken in the luteal phase of your cycle can decrease or sometimes eliminate hormone-induced migraine headaches. talk to an endocrinologist or to a specialist in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Good luck
