Hi citygirl77,

Yes, it is possible that you are starting to feel some symptoms of perimenopause. This can go on for years. There are other possible reasons, however, for a lack of a period and hot flashes. For example, considerable stress can sometimes be a factor, thyroid issues can be a factor.

If it continues, it would be a good idea to see your doctor for a check-up.
