Periods returning after Tamoxifen

Hi lovely ladies,
After 5 years of being on Tamoxifen I got the clearance to stop medication back in May19. I haven’t had a period for almost 3 years. Just recently I got my periods. Is this normal or should I see my GP/Oncologist? I didn’t have chemo only radiation after my lumpectomy back in May 2014.

    Thank you for replying. I am a bit worried so I’m going to see a gynaecologist and hopefully all will be ok. 
    Just checking in to see how you went? I finished my chemo & rads end of 2014 and finished my hormone blockers... waiting to see what my body does now also

    It's entirely possible. Young women go on to have babies after treatment. Probably good to have checked. A simple hormone blood test will confirm if normal hormones kicking back in.

    Hi @Yamo. It's hard to say whether it's normal or not, there's so many potential variables. Is there a local breast care nurse you could talk to? Otherwise, make an appointment with your GP for some reassurance,  if nothing else
    Take care
