As much as you dont want to hear this...it would be best to wait until your Doc gets your levels stabalised and then try to fall pregnant because Hyperthyroidism can cause miscarraige and premature labour if not treated properly.
I have Graves and did have Hyperthyroidism until I had RAI (radioactive iodine) and Thyroidectomy in 2008.
I am 50 years old but at 32, I had stillborn twin boys and my 2nd and 3rd child were born 2 months premature.
Bearing in mind, I was not diagnosed with Graves and Hypethyroidism until 3 years ago.....but traced it back to the '80's'....I would most certainly say that Hyperthyroidism caused a lot of my problems with my pregnancies.
Get the Doc to do a full test including FT3, FT4, TSH (thyroid) and TSI to rule out Graves Disease.
You should also be on an anti-thyroid medication to bring your levels down.
It is very hard to manage Hyperthyroidism and if after 12 months of medication and still no regulation of your levels then most Docs think you should have permanant treatment like surgery etc.
I totally agree with this.

I have never looked back since I had permanant treatment for Hyperthyroidism.
Good luck and let us know how you go :)

Thyroid disease is hereditary.

Are you being treated for the hyperT? and are your labs in the normal range?

Sounds like you need to make an appt with a endocrinologist and have a full thyroid work up.

peace be the journey
