I have been on Tamoxifen since May 2023 and need to wait until May 2025 for blood test to determine if I have gone through the menopause, which I believe I have. I was previously on the marina coil so did not have periods. This was removed March 2023 and I have not had a period in over 4 years. Also had severe hot flushes for 6 months after coil was removed.
2 Days ago, I started having severe cramping and heavy bleeding. Being referred for another Ultrasound. Anyone else had similar symptoms?
Hi NikkiB , sorry you’re having this issue, I haven’t had it myself but a friend has. She was on tamoxifen for 5 years and had 2 episodes of heavy bleeding, the latest quite recently. Both were investigated by ultrasound and then I think hysteroscopy (camera looks inside the womb), biopsies taken, all benign. But both times of course very worrying to say the least. Good you’re getting it checked out, let us know how it all goes. Bet you could just do without it though. Love and hugs, HFxx
thank goodness i still had sanitary products and that is just because i keep forgetting to sort them out, lol. Its the flooding I am more fed up with, so much washing to do now, lol
