Am I Going Through Menopausal? - Seriously Afraid

Hello, I am new to this board. I am 43 and was TTC which never happen. I was pregnant last year with no symptom and had a MC. The problem I am currently faced with is I have been spotting whenever I am due for a period. I have a regular 30/31 day cycle and would feel pregant but nothing happen and instead I start spotting orange/pink blood. Last cycle I was 7 days late and when I did get a period on the 5/12/12 it was brown spots 1st day, orange spot 2nd day and brownish black spot on the 3rd and final day, none of the days did I need any sanitary napkins or tampons, all I needed was a pantyliner. My doctor put me on clomid to start on the third day of my cycle and I had a beta/hcg test done on the last day of spotting. The test comes back negative 2 ( I dont know what that means exactly). I have a bloated stomach which is sometimes hard or sometimes soft. My cervix is way up I can barely touch it and it feels medium to me and close/medium opening if that makes sense to anyone. There is no cervical mucus and I am suppose to be in my fertile stage according to my charts, I am also suppose to Ovalute on Tuesday. I took several OPK test over the course of the week and they all come back negative. My breasts have increase in size but other than that there is nothing. Everything is leading me to believe that I am going through menopause because all HPT are also negative. I take co-diovan 320/12.5 for high blood and metformin, omega 3, garlic tablets, B-Complex and folic Acid 400 mg. Do you think these are having an effect on my period or am I really going through menopause? and if so what do I need to look out for in the future and how do I deal with it.? I have heard so many horror story and now I am scared out of my wits because of the unknown. Oh I had some blood works done the early part of this year and everything was good with the exception of my LH that was 3.4, my ovaries, uterus, cervix was all in excellent condition and I have been having headaches on the right side of the head in the nights for the past week and a half. I would greatly appreciate any response that is given because I cant understand this and is indeed afraid of the unknown and dont want to do something crazy.

I have just book an appointment with a new doctor who could not understand why my doctor did not do some more test on my tubes etc. She also thinks that when he recommend some of the tests are at the wrong time of the month for me. Just recently recieve a U/S that show fluid in my pelvix and POD. I am also showing multi functional cysts on both ovaries and he is insisting that he thinks I am indeed perimenopausal hence the new doctor to confirm. So I will be in the United States on the 12th of July to my new doctor. Thanks alot.
