Hi and thanks for the query,
It would be important precising a few things which could be important for an appropriate diagnosis. first, do have any hot or cold chills, changes in mood recently, dryness of the vulva or mucosa, feeling of being a bit depressed or some weight gain lately? If this is the case, these could be signs of menopause. If not, as one approaches 50 especially females, it is not unusual to have some changes in the regularity of the menstrual cycle. These are usually signs to show that one is moving towards menopause.
However, in case of a past history or recent notion of unprotected sex, it is appropriate to get a pregnancy test done. If symptoms persist for a long time or depending on results of the test, seeking advice from your gyncologist could be very helpful.
Thanks and best regards,
