The usual protocol is no period (none at all, not even spotting) for 12 months means that you are post menopausal (won't get pregnant). But if you are the least bit concerned, then you can have a blood test that shows your level of hormones, indicating whether or not you are post menopausal. It's worth a conversation with your doctor, just to ease your mind.
