As Lisa mentioned...your OB/GYN definitely needs some bedside manners. Please check out this website below on Perimenopause and Menopause, I hope you find it helpful.

Hi,
Your OBGYN needs some bedside manners.
I am almost 45 and my OBGYN told me its never to late to get pregnant if you are getting periods on and off. She had a friend in her 50's that got pregnant because of broken condom. It was not a viable pregnancy, but it can happen and will probably result in a heartbreaking miscarriage.
There are two very good books about peri and regular menopause.
1) Is it hot in here or is it just me - recommended by my OBGYN
2) The wisdom of menopause - By Christine Northup ( a little out there, but good)
I respect my obgyn. She is a Harvard Grad and practices in NYC and is herself in her 50's and perimenopausel.
Good luck and let me know how your doing.
Lisa
