Pregnancy and migraines?

I'm at the point where I'm considering getting pregnant, but I've had debilitating migraines for most of my life. Right now they are really well controlled with emgality, nurtec, zavzpret and the occassional excedrin. I know I'd have to stop all these to become pregnant and the articles I'm reading now say the only thing for migraines while pregnant are not effective, like darkened rooms and tylenol.

Has anyone gotten pregnant and absolutely didn't want to kill themselves from the pain for the whole 9+ months? How do we do this? Is it really just a choice between being unable to function for 9 months and having a kid?
