Started taking tamoxifen in Sept 13 after completing 24 sessions of radiotherapy. My periods were normal for the first 3 months albeit shorter (3 days) and were between 24-28 day cycle, with my last period on 4th December 13. I had unprotected sex on the 27th Dec and took the morning after pill the following day, was expecting a period at the end of Dec but it didnt appear and I havent had one since. I have done numerous pregnancy tests all of which are negative, but I am paranoid that I am getting a false negative. I spoke to the macmillan nurse who said that it takes 3-4 months for tamoxifen to get into the system, so this would make sense but I cant quite get used to the fact that I havent had a period! Could I still be pregnant?! Its driving me mad! Over christmas and early January I felt really depressed and tearful and recently have had weird indigestion. Is this normal on tamoxifen???
Hi fenners, I very much like you. I am on tamoxifen and not had a period since the end of last year. Done a few pregnancy tests, which were negative. Went to my gps on monday and she has done some blood test to see if I’m going through the menopause. I too have heartburn which started since I went on tamoxifen and now on emperzole. I know that tamoxifen can mess your monthly cycle too. Maybe if you went to your gp, she might do some bloods. Hope this helps.
Thanks, ironically I got my period on valentines day! But it’s totally messed up as I then got another period after 20 days
