Has anyone had their periods come back and still be on tamoxifin. I am very regular and they started 6 months ago one month after i finished the zoladex. Any thoughts? Oh im 35... 3 yr surviver.

Mine did. I didn't have one for the first year on tamox, then they came back.

I am 37, 2 year survivor.  My periods were going strong until this past June.  Not sure what the deal is now.  I've heard it's a 50/50 shot whether a woman will have a period or not.

It all depends on your own body

Hi, just wanted to add something to this subject because Im researching what to do anti-hormonal wise. I came to look at this answer from a specialist - which could be of importance to you/us:
"Although the hormone receptor assay reveals only weak positivity for ER and PR, I would also favor additional hormonal therapy with an aromatase inhibitor. Assuming she is now premenopausal, it is likely that this patient will experience amenorrhea with chemotherapy. Many women will, however, resume menstrual cycles months or years following chemotherapy.^[5]If there is any question as to her menopausal status, an LHRH agonist should be administered. Indeed, the safest approach would be to use an LHRH agonist so there is no doubt about menopausal status. An oophorectomy would be an alternative to the LHRH agonist."
