At 35, you should probably stop the BC and find another way to control the migraines as you are probably in peri-menopause, based on your mother's experience. That can take up to 10 years to get through.
If your Dr is anything like mine, you will probably be told that it will have to take 6 months to a year for a definitive call of menopause, barring other causes.
In the meantime, there are OTC things you can take to alleviate the symptoms, but since you are on a hormone therapy, ask first. The pharmacist should know if those would compromise or screw up the meds you currently take.
