Question AI for pre-menopausal?

Hi, ladies!

I am running to late to work, but I wanted to ask this question: I went for my Day 10 after my 6th (and final) chemo, and the PA mentioned that if I start my period again (before or while I am on Tamoxifen), they would change me to an AI...

Aren't AIs only for (conclusively determined) post-menopausal women?

I will fill in later on how this all came up!

Thanks,
Krista
