I just need a very clear explanation to the phenomenon, though I have long accepted the fact that every month during my regular cycle, 3days before or 3days after, I suffer migraine. This is also the same thing my mom experienced.
What's the medical explanation to this? Any doctor in the house?

It's hormonal, of course. The fluctuating amounts of estrogen and progesterone in your system can trigger 'menstrual migraines.' Especially if you're on the pill. That just adds more hormones into the mix.

Mostly when my period is coming my stomach is painful but only an hour after that no more.I don't experience migraine so I think you better consult to the doctor.

I'm not a doctor so don't take what I say too seriously, but its probably related to hormonal changes in your body around menstruation. If your mother had it, then it's could be genetic. Have you seen a doctor about this?

Try this. Test your saliva pH. You may be able to relieve the symptoms by just chewing a few Tums. Sounds crazy, but it's amazing.
