Breakthrough bleed after first dose???

Hi all, after finishing 15 rounds of radiation therapy, i took my first dose on tamoxifen at 10am this morning, only to develop a breakthrough bleed by 5pm. I am perimenopaul and my last period was in Nov 24.

I will be contacting the Doctor tomorrow but has anyone experienced this? Do these bleeds stop on their own? Thank you in advance.

    Check in with your GP
    Peace of mind is what you need as your body settles into the routine of Tamoxifen

    Hi @JelsKovac
    Hopefully you have talked with someone. I would be surprised if there was any link to the tamoxifen. It could simply be the joy of perimenopause.
    Take care
