TMI periods question

Age 35, in good health overall, 2 children. Over the last year my cycles got shorter (now 24/5 days) which I thought might be early peri. But the content of periods has also changed, there's a lot more clots. The clots are not at all large, I've googled and mine are small on the spectrum (fingernail size) but it's just I never had clots before so it's new for me. Lots of small clots in among the usual blood on pad and when wiping. Is it a normal change that occurs in 30s? Is it peri? Or worth a check up? Had bloods 2 months ago for a different issue which were all normal but didn't have a hormone panel done.

I'm 38 and my periods have went from 26 days (every month since I started them) to between 20 and 24 days (once 19 days)

I've also got alot more clots and have noticed i no longer get any breast pain - in usually get very intense breast pain from ovulation until a day before my period begins, so so strange. The lack of breast pain is concerning me and I can't find anything online to suggest it's peri related!

I've also noticed my moods are alot more down and I've started clenching my jaw alot. So I'm not sure if i have some stress which is causing the issues or if it's peri.

Thanks for replying to me, yeah my moods have changed too it's like I have PMS at other random times of the month. I'm the opposite my breast pain is worse now and lasts right through my period and goes into my armpits and arms. God I hate hormones! I do agree that stress and anxiety can mess with your cycles for sure
