About 3/4 wks ago I lowered my dose from 200-175 this month my period has come and literally lasted barely 48 hours. Could it be my reduction? I'm only 33 so hoping its nothing awful like meno.. Only other thing I've changed is the past wk I've been doing low carb.

I doubt 25mcg dose reduction or low carb diet will affect menstruation.
