Wondering if possible reduction in side effects might be related to those we dont experience everyday such as bone loss or elevated cholesterol. Less med might be less problems for bones.

Again, if a dose is "effective," meaning it reduces estradiol below detectable levels, the side effects of bone loss or elevated cholesterol or whatever, would be the same I would think. The side effects are from estrogen suppression and estrogen is suppressed if the dose is effective. That is the whole point of the med.
In other words, I don't see any reason why a lower dose, if effective, would cause fewer side effects.
