Recently done with Tamoxifen

First of all, hello  :)  I am new obviously and sort of stubbled on this site looking for answers to my current issues.

 

I am almost 7 years out, recently (as in 3 weeks ago) finished Tamoxifen.  I had regular periods while on Tamoxifen, but now that I’ve stopped taking it, I have missed a period.  Usually it is the other way around I think, women stop having them during tamoxifen and then they start up again.  I will be 40 in June so menapause is still some years away (I think?).

 

Anyone else have this happen?  Periods went away after you finished tamoxifen?  I went to my Gyno yesterday, we are doing a sonagram of my ovaries because I have cysts, she has offered ablation to help with the heavy periods, even though I’m not having one at all at the moment, and also offered a hystorectomy, which I’m leaning against.
