Can caffeine withdrawal affect your periods?

Question:

I recently reduced my caffeine intake from 4/5 cups of tea/coffee per day plus the odd cola, down to caffeine free tea and coffee, with the odd cola. We are trying for a baby and thought this would help our "chances" as caffeine can cause miscarriages. I usually have a 30 day cycle, but this month i was due on the 20th and i still haven't "come on".
I went to the doctor today as i have had about 10 days of cramping, pregnancy tests are all negative. She could not find any cause of my cramping and did extra urine tests to see if there were any other problems (all negative). It wasn't until i got home that i realised i have been "caffeine free" for about 2 weeks. Could this have caused my periods to be delayed as i know caffeine withdrawal can affect you in many ways. I had a few headaches but nothing else till now. Its really getting me down as i want to start charting again and my temperature is all over the place! She has told me to come back if my period doesn't arrive soon...

Answers:
losing weight and putting on can change your periods plus changing what you eat and drink the cramps could be you due on period or preg as you can get little cramps i would leave another wk then test again I'm trying too so good luck xx
