Yes, normally tamoxifen is prescribed to pre-menopausal women, but upon occasion, when none of the AIs are patient-compatible, an oncologist may prescribe it. There are trade-offs, however, like increased risk of uterine cancer and blood clots. Your oncologist is the best source of information on all this.
