Irregular heavy bleeding and bf

Hi just wondered if anyone is in a similar boat and perhaps has an answer for me…
Have an 8 month old exclusively bf baby, my postpartum bleeding stopped at 5 weeks then returned at 7 weeks and lasted for about 3 months. Had a smear test done just before I turned 25 in August, all clear. Since then I have a period every other day it feels like, lucky to have a week without blood. For the past 5 days it’s been really heavy with painful cramps and lots of little clots.
Phoned doctor there and was offered a phone appointment on Friday. Don’t know where to go from here as I don’t want to take the jag or anything like that, in the past it’s just made my bleeding worse. Is there anyway to resolve this without more hormones?!
