Under Active Thyroid

I am not real sure that I understand what my problem is yet. I was diagnosed two weeks ago with PCOS (polycystic overian Syndrome) Then yesterday I recieved a call from my Doctors office and said they got the rest of my test results and my thyroid level was 5.85. Everything I am reading tells me that this could be the cause of my lack of ovulation. Could my thyroid be the reason I have PCOS? I have one daughter.
I have miscarried and I want more children, I'm overwieght as well, could all these thngs be because of my thyroid?

The 2 may be related. Here is a site that explains a lot of it:

Have you had your thyroid antibodies (TPOab and/or TGab) tested? A high level of these can cause miscarriages.

The weight could be from either disease or both.
