Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concerns here.
You are most probably in your perimenopausal stage( as with my understanding from your description that you have no period in last 2 yrs. but you are on noriday( norethisterone)).
Usually fsh levels increases and oestrogen level are decreases in menopausal stage.
In your case fsh within normal limits and estrogen levels are high which occurs in perimenopausal stage.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
Regards
