You should have your thyroid tested to see if the Graves disease is back or if you have develpoed hypothyroidism.  Also, there may be higher miscarriage rate in women w/ autoimmune thyroid disease - so testing TPO antibodies may be appropriate as well.  If any of these tests are abnormal, you should see an endocrinologist for advice.
