Chelee, your estrogen levels can be checked and then you will be sure if you are pre menopausal or not. It is a blood test.

Estogen levels for Pre menopause is:

Follic phase (first days of an ovulatory cycle) - 27-161

Luteal Phase (last fourteen days of an ovulatory cycle, associated with progesterone production from the corpus luteum) is 33-201.

Post menopausal is 5-38

So if you are below 27 there is NO doubt you are post menopausal.
