Thank you very much for your answer. I was asking also because drug instruction advise stopping taking Duphaston if migraine occurs, since it may be pre-stroke indication. Would you agree?
Regarding your advice what else to consider: my OBGYN advised me always that tranexamic acid is not to stop but only to delay bleeding, since my uterine lining always gets so thick so only hormonal intervention makes sense. Would you agree?

You can stop it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is true if migraine occurs, you should stop the drug because it can be a symptom of stroke but migraine is different from simple headache which may occur with hormonal pills due to changes in blood circulation.
Tranxemic acid is a hemostatic drug and can decrease the bleeding in a case of excessive bleeding though it is true thick endometrial is due to unopposed action of estrogen and can be treated with the help of progesterone only.
