I would not be too quick to assume you have gone through menopause completely yet. Unless you are prepared to take the risk of getting pregnant, you should still use something until your hormone levels have been checked and you know for sure.
I am almost 54 and a recent blood test indicated I have not even started menopause yet. Though there are average norms, everyone is still different. It's good to know for sure before you depend on it.
