Brief Answer:
Menopause likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.

FSH levels of more than 40 and absence of periods are mostly suggestive of menopause.
Usually, the first symptom of menopause is the absence of periods and increased FSH levels.
Other symptoms like hot flushes, vaginal dryness and osteopenia occur a few years after.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
