Funny you should ask this on seeing new specialist for my daughter aged 43 one of the first questions was has she gone through menapause. Explained she had benign having seizures since she was around 3 Dr reply was oh then it can’t be late on set. Be nice if some Drs read notes before visits -

Did he take Statistics rather than Anatomy and Physiology?

Get a NEW Dr. An Epileptologist , if possible.

Your Neurologist need to take a class on Epilepsy

Let me guess he's a male doctor. I've heard that complaint before from other people who had male doctors. Female doctors are more understanding about hormones especially. I was surprised that the male doctor when my hormones went completely out of whack when my ovaries got filled with cysts explained to me that was the reason my grand mals started before I only had petite mals. My migraines were bad everytime I had a seizure and on veeg when I asked for migraine meds alot of seizures activity going on but not an actual seizure. My Neurologist said that was normal. So yes they are all connected, I have a fabulous Neurologist in the Houston Medical center which is where you go for first class treatment. People come from around the world here.

Hormones can absolutely have a connection. What you have described sounds like maybe catamenial epilepsy
