Getting pregnant on tamoxifen

Hi ladies,
I’ve finished all my main treatment and I’ve been taking tamoxifen since October now. Been really good with contraception until now, but it has killed all enjoyment in our sex lives. Had a couple of incidents this month and there’s a good chance I’m pregnant. I’ve told my breast care nurse and and I’ve come off my tamoxifen for now until we know. I just wondered if anyone else has gotten pregnant while on tamoxifen? There’s so little in terms of experiences out there it’s hard to gauge. I know there’s a chance of birth defects and miscarriage, just wanted to hear from someone who had been through it.

Thanks

Esther xx
