Periods returning while on Tamoxifen

Has anyone else had their periods return after thinking that chemo had put them into early menopause? I have not had a period since chemo (August, 2013) put a stop to them at the age of 47. My oncologist told me that at my age chemo induced menopause is usually permanent but suddenly after almost 20 months of no periods I seem to be having one.

Have all the usual symptoms including some fairly uncomfortable cramps and bloating. At 49 I was thinking this was all behind me and now am not sure what is happening. Have an appointment with my oncologist this Thursday and an appointment with a gynecologist next week to hopefully work out what my body and hormones are up to. Am just wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Deanne xxx
