The Pathology needs to be considered. As Michael says, there is a bleeding tendency in Phos which is also an importnat characteristic indication.
A person who has a pathology that will cause bleeding, the low potency will have a proving effect and result in bleeding.
In one of my patients' who was on Phos Lm3 - which is constitutional - she missed a periods after continuing wiht Phos on regular LM doses. She always was regular before though her chief complaint was completely better.
ON stopping the regular dosing - her periods appeared after a week, a 3 week delay. This is not explained physiologically (hormonally) in the normal menstrual cycle, and the only reason was that she had a proving of HIGH potency Phos - which resulted in suppression of bleeding rather than increasing bleeding.
This are clinical observations of high and low potency effects. IF you read HEpar SUlph too - HEpar SUlph in 30C and lower potencies promotes suppuration, where as HEpar SUlph in HIgh potencies 200C and above abort suppuration. So depending on the clinical effect required, the potency needs to be chosen.
