tamoxifen and bleeding

hi this will probaly be to much info so sorry ladies, but I started tamoxifen only around 3-4weeks ago I've only had mild side affects off them nothing I cant handle,my period was late I am normally every 28 days for 7 days and normally get sore breast the week before I'm due on but had nothing . yesterday evening out of the blue I started getting lower tummy cramps went to the toilet and noticed pink watery discharge so presumed i had come on,through the night I've woke numerous times needed the toilet and my period had been just black ( old blood) I've woke this morn and changed my pad which was just all black,so my question is has anyone experienced this as I cannot find much info on this I'm still cramping like mad today it actually hurts and I know it's only been a few weeks but just wondering what other ladies were like when they got there first period I've tried ringing a few cancer charities today to ask but cant get through to any thank you charlie

  • Hello charliebabex, 

    I think it would be a good idea to get in touch with your GP or if out of hours ringing 111 to check whether this bleeding is normal - do mention that it has been of a black colour and also  the cramping you have been experiencing. Your doctor will be in the best position to tell you more about this and whether it might be related to Tamoxifen. 

    Best wishes,
