Women are more likely to use methods of suicide with a high degree of failure like taking a large amount of pills(which means they can get their stomach pumped or otherwise treated if caught) while men are more likely to simply use a gun and other more violent and immediate methods which have a far higher fatality rate. Thus we would expect in an increase in suicide attempts in young women and a decrease in suicide attempts among young men would lead to a net decrease in suicides because young women consistently fail at committing suicide while young men are far more successful.
