Could I Be In Menopause While On Birth Control Pills And Not Know It?

I am 48 years old and have been on BC pills for over 20 years. I have stopped the pill as my husband has completed his vasectomy and microscopic exam revealed he was clean. I did not have sex with him until after the exam. After my last BCP induced period, I am now 38 days and counting while I wait for a period. Could I be in the midst of menopause? And could it have been disguised by the pill? My hormone check almost a year ago was normal.
