Caffine did not help my cramps and I had them pretty bad. I have read it is good to limit caffeine during that time of the month since it can aggravate menstrual cramps. Caffeine constricts blood vessels and raises tension levels-which can make cramping worse. Decaffeinated herbal teas are good to drink. I took advil to help with cramp pain and a heating pad also helped.
