Your TSH level fluctuates throughout the day because the hormones released by your thyroid are released in 'spurts' rather than a continuous stream, so the amount of TSH in your system responds to the fluctuating quantities of T3 and T4 (thyroid). A difference of two tenths of a point for your TSH is not going to make you lose your period. I'm not a doctor, but I guarantee that any competent endicrinologist will agree with my statement.

And yes, it makes zero sense why your doctor halved your dose rather than adding more- they might have made a simple human error, or perhaps they intended for you to take the .025 in addition to the .05 and failed to communicate it to you?

If you're not seeing a specialist, you might want to find one. On the bright side, it sounds like you're really close to finding the perfect dose that works for you...it can takes many months/years for thyroid patients to acheive that! :-)
