I think I'm going through the menopause I'm 50 and experiencing hot flushes through day and night, but my periods have completely stopped. I finished taking the mini pill in April and haven't had a period since does this mean I have finished producing eggs and not Likely to get pregnant or is this due to the contraception pill I took and stopped in April and still waiting for it to clear my system ?

It can sometimes take a good few months for your hormones to rebalance after stopping the Pill, so I would continue to use some form of contraception. If your periods still haven't come back after 6 months then you could ask your doctor to test your hormone levels and that might give you a better idea as to how far along you are and whether you need to continue with contraception. You may also find sage tincture helpful for the flushes.
