I'm menopausal and on HRT. I used to get breast tenderness all the time. I cut down my coffee because I have an anxiety disorder and I finally decided to stop pretending coffee wasn't making it worse. I gave up filter coffee altogether, and now have one cup of instant cappucino a day (withdrawal was pretty bad for a a few weeks - headache, sleeplessness, irritability). But I feel better for cutting down. And the breast tenderness has absolutely vanished. I didn't cut down caffeine for that reason, but it was a very welcome side-effect.
