Missed 5 periods and now they're back + other symptoms

A little background: I am 48. Periods were failry regular, though insanely painful and heavy my entire life because of cysts and fibroids. In early 2020, I missed a couple of periods for the first time. Missed June, got one in July and then no more periods for 5 months. I have had 2 in a row, roughly 5 weeks apart.

The 5 missed periods were chalked up by the nurse practitioner as perimenopause. Now they're back and I'm wondering if it's normal to miss so many and have them return. Anyone else miss several periods only to have them start back up?
