Hot flushes but no period - is this the start

Hello there .

I am late 40s, periods last few years have been regular but very very heavy and last for days, no period pain, so am assuming it is onset of menopause - my mum was same age as me when she started.

But my period is late this month, and I have been having night sweats and yesterday and today had times when I think I am going to explode I get so hot.

I don't think it is pregnancy - have none of the symptons I had when I was pregnant, and I truly don't think I ovulate now as have none of the usual ovulation cycle symptons- sore boobs, backache etc.

Is this the start do you think of the menopause. Also have really really itchy skin on arms and legs - not dry skin just itchy!?! TIA x

It is much more likely peri-menopause / menopause than being pregnant, yes.
