Menopause symptoms or just irregular?

I had my DS 13 months ago and it took nearly 10 weeks for the bleeding to stop (probably included a period). 8 months later I had an op to take out a large fibroid. My periods now seem even more irregular (15-42 day cycles lasting 2-7 days) than after birth of DS and I'm not sure if this is normal, in addition to this I have hot 'flushes' mainly at night, I am snappy and obviously tired (DS is quite a good sleeper though). I have also suffered with lower back pain for the last 18 months, I put it down to the way I sleep/being pregnant but the pain is still there 13 months after birth. Are these a sign of the menopause or are they pretty normal?
Thanks
P.s I am planning on going to gp to have the marina fitted but am unsure I should!

Have you been to see your GP yet?

It could be the menopause (how old are you?) but it might be worth pressing to be referred back to the gynae team who dealt with the fibroid to see they should be rechecking anything in light of continuing symptoms.
