AmIDying: “Lately my period has been preceded by a week or so of brown/red spotting. What are some likely culprits? Is it hormonal? When I Google, results suggest that I might be served, hormone-wise, by reducing my caffeine intake”

Coffee is one of those things that is terrible for you one minute and great for you the next, according to the latest study, and maybe also according to how bad your caffeine headache is on any given day. On the subject of coffee’s effect on the menstrual cycle, there are numerous academic studies available, most of which provide little to no evidence that an increased consumption of caffeine causes any significant disruption.
And even in meta studies on the subject, which combine results from five or six experiments, Nachtigall says it takes four cups of coffee a day before you see any difference between caffeine drinkers and non-drinkers. Now, I don’t know how much coffee you drink, and no judgments if you drink that much, but I’m willing to bet that it’s probably less than that.
