Beginning Of Menopause Symptoms

How do you tell if you are beginning menopause if you had a hysterectomy and so you do not have that symptom?

I had a hysterectomy many years ago and am now wondering, without this indication of the onset of menopause, how else do you tell if as a 51 year old woman when I am experiencing menopause?

If I remember my high school biology right, most of the sex hormones are produced by the ovaries, not the uterus, so unless your ovaries were removed along with your uterus, you should be experience many menopausal symptoms (Hot Flashes, or whatever) like a typical woman. If after your hysterectomy, the doctor prescribed replacement hormones, and you've been taking them ever since, you won't have a menopause.
