Hi 

I’ve been in tamoxifen for 8 weeks. 7 weeks ago I had to have my coil removed. Not had a period since removal until last week and had a heavy bleed. Is this normal on tamoxifen. 

thanks Blush

  • Always worth speaking to your oncologist or GP about medical issues as only they will know whether this is OK. 

  • thanks. I have spoken to GP. they are making appointment with gynae. I’ve not spoken once to my oncologist through any of my treatment. Just the radiographer. 
    Was just wondering if it was normal to bleed with tamoxifen 

    Disappointed relieved

  • I’ve not yet started tamoxifen but had to have my coil removed as soon as diagnosed and had a bleed after about 8 weeks. X

  • Thanks for responding. I bled very light with coil for 3 years I was put on coil because of heavy bleeding. When they took coil out I half expected to go back to heavy bleeding but didn’t for 7 weeks then I had a 5 day bleed 2 heavy days. GP us phoning me back today. Hopefully it’s normal I just wasn’t sure with being on  tamoxifen if it was supposed to stop the bleeding. It might be a one oiff x
