Breastfeeding 18mo very irregular periods

My child is now 18 months, I'm still breastfeeding in the morning and before bed but not in between. My periods have returned for a while now but still very irregular.

Previous cycles lengths: 32, 40, 29, 37, 33, 36, 28, 38, and now on 38 days and still waiting for my period! 🫣

I'm wondering if it's time to stop feeding, the randomness is doing my head in. And I get crazy mood swings too. Pre-pregnancy periods were regular and PMT was no where near this bad! Help!

I’d get it checked out with the GP before stopping feeding (unless you are ready to stop anyway). My periods returned at 8 months and were completely regular even though I kept feeding for a further 5 months, also twice a day.
