Question Medication change... question!

Some background info first: Even though my levels are "normal numbers", 2.25 is actually too much for myself (no period, fatigue, etc - mother was the same way) and when I am around 1.11 I am best! (get my period on a timely basis, no more fatigue, better vision, etc)

Anyway, I have been on .05mg Levothyroxine for about 7-8 months (level was 1.11) and then period stopped coming, fatigue, etc so I got it checked last month and it was at 1.33 (mine needs to be around 1.11) so the doctor put me on .025mg Levothyroxine instead to get me back to 1.11... does this sound right?

If I was at 2.25 before meds and then after taking .05mg I was at 1.11, then had it travel to 1.33... shouldn't I be taking half a mg more, not less to get it back to 1.11? I am very confused... Period still is not showing up, etc. It just does not make sense why my dosage would go down if its higher...?
