Your situation is called peri-menopause. This is the several years before actual menopause. You are considered to be in menopause if you have not had a period in a year, so you’re not there yet. You’re experiencing fluctuating hormones as your ovaries kind of sputter and don’t work, then work overdrive, kind of like a car engine that is not working right–you step on the gas pedal and nothing happens, then suddenly the car jerks forward really fast, then nothing again. This causes hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Yes, it’s still possible for you to get pregnant–in fact, there are more women in their 40s who have abortions than teenagers because so many women in their 40s think they can’t get pregnant, when in fact they can, so they end up with unplanned pregnancies. So continue to use birth control if you don’t want to get pregnant. If the menopausal symptoms are very annoying to you, you could go on birth control pills, which will even out your hormones and prevent those symptoms.
Fibroids can cause unexplained bleeding, and extra heavy bleeding. If your periods are like normal, then it’s probably just normal monthly bleeding, not fibroids.
