When Do Periods Begin After Taking Tamoxifen?

Hello, pls I am taking tamoxifen for fertility, it’s been over a month after I took them, I’ve had pregnancy symptoms (all in the books) but still with a negative urine pregnancy result. My question is, when is my period supposed to come after taking tamoxifen? Pls help I’m literally losing my mind and getting depressed. My medical history; Diagnosed with PCOS, completely irregular periods Last period was December 2017, I was supposed to take the tamoxifen from day 2-day5 of my cycle, but since I hadn’t gotten my period in 5 months I just took the drugs for four days and stopped. Now it’s been over a month after taking it, no period... so much symptoms that could pass off as either ovulation or pregnancy and still no positive PT result nor period bleeding!!!

Hello,

After completing the course of Tamoxifen it can take 4-6 months for the normal periods to resume back. The duration can vary from person to person and with the dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
