It can be very confusing because the symptoms of low oestrogen from the menopausal process are quite similar to some of the symptoms of pregnancy.
Both cases involve sex hormones shifting around. You're not safe from pregnancy until you have had no periods for 2-3 years (3 years to be on the safe side).
The only way to tell if you are pregnant now is to do a pregnancy test. If you are not then it is the menopause, and fortunately there are natural remedies to help balance all these symptoms.
