Period changed after breastfeeding

Hi,

I was looking for some advice....

I have 2 children, both breastfed. I finished breastfeeding my 2nd when he was around 18 months old (January this year) and then from feb onwards my periods got really heavy and painful.
I did start my period around 6 months prior but since stopping breastfeeding it’s been mich more painful and heavier, they also go on for around 7 days now as opposed to 5. I have had blood tests, swabs for infections and an ultra sound as my CA125 blood test came back slightly over the marker, but apart from that all normal. I also now get awful PMS and I start getting PMS cramping around 3 days before my periods starts aswell as brown discharge 2 days before it starts. I suffer with terrible health anxiety (since I was 8) but since lockdown it’s just awful.
Has anybody else experienced anything like this at all?

Thanks
