Question Thyroid meds and light periods

I've been on levoxyl for many years, and cytomel was added in late summer. I am noticing my periods seem lighter than ever. In recent years they have been 5-6 days of moderate bleed. I guess I'm not complaining, but it doesn't seem normal to only have 3-4 days of light bleed now.

My labwork always comes back in range, but just short of hyper which is where endo. likes it. I have no symptoms of hyper, just the light AFs, and I have gotten fatter (ugh) in last 6 months due to reduced exercise while dealing with other health issues. Should I just forget about the light AFs?

I didn't have light period after thyroid treatment, but I had them before. The weird thing is I was hypo, light periods are supposed to be a hyper symptom. About 6 years ago before I went on BCP my periods were like yours used to be 5-6 days moderate flow. When I went off BCP they were still only 2-3 days and light. When I started getting thyroid treatment they went up to about 3-4 days.
Sorry I wasnt' more help, just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one with wacky periods.
