Mentrual periods while on Tamoxifin(tamoxifen)

Mentrual periods while on Tamoxifin(tamoxifen)

I am 47 years old.  I was premenapausal when I started taking Tamoxifin (tamoxifen) in October of 2000.  My periods stopped immediately.  In March of this year they started again.  I had a pap test last week and it came back okay.  I thought the Tamoxifin (tamoxifen) was to stop you from having your periods.  Is this normal?  Should I be concerned?

Dear Dannrose:  Although menstrual function may cease during tamoxifen therapy, it is not uncommon for premenopausal women to menstruate while taking tamoxifen.  Very often, menstruation is irregular.  Also, it is technically possible to become pregnant while taking tamoxifen
