Hi..when you have not had your periods for one whole year,then you are said to have attained menopause..if it's so, no need to worry about pregnancy..your hot flushes might be due to menopausal hormonal changes in your body..but in case of any doubt and if your amenorrhoea ( no menses) is recent ( less than a year ), its better to be sure through a urine pregnancy test by self at home.
