Answer 8

Possible: I would talk to your oncologist and gynecologist about this. It depends on your age and weight, etc. There are blood tests that can be done to determine how well your ovaries are being suppressed.

Answer 9

Normal to cycle.: Tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor modulator and is not intended to suppress the ovaries. It is intended to block the estrogen receptors so that estrogen cannot bind and stimulate that particular tissue - usually tamoxifen is used to block stimulation of breast tissue in patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Tamoxifen is not intended to stop you from having normal cycles.

Answer 10

Cramps: Stop all caffiene, use a heating pad, aerobic exercise and sometimes calcium can be of benefit. Birth control pills can help as well.

Answer 11

NSAID: The standard midol contains acetominophen (like tylenol), pyrilamine (an antihistamine) and caffeine. Often cramps are helped most by non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like aspirin, ibuprofen, or Naproxen sodium. The midol extended relief contains Naproxen and the midol cramps and body aches contains ibuprofen. Sometimes a heating pad can help, too.

Answer 12

PC OS: Often related to obesity but not always. Try aerobic exercise and a low-carb diet avoid caffeine.
