Hi, joejoe, sorry for the long delay in replying. I needed to do some reading on this one.

So far as I can see, there is no evidence of tamoxifen leading to an early menopause, though some side effects mimic menopausal symptoms. Several reports indicate that while it lowers oestrogen production, it can also lead to higher fertility so users should be aware of this.
