It looks like migraine here.Have you considered blocking ovulation e.g. by having a Mirena intra-uterine contraceptive coil fitted or by having Depo-Provera injections? The contraceptive pill may make migraine worse and is contraindicated if you get focal migraine where e.g. you lose the power of a limb.If that is not a problem consider taking the pill for 3 months without a break (omitting the dummy pills) and you will get only 4 attacks per year.
