Graves disease of thyroid being on higher side is related to stress of puberty, pregnancy and postpartum periods and any other stress you're lucky to have normal levels during pregnancy as medicines to reduce thyroxine secreted by high thyroid carry lots of side effects and aren't safer during pregnancy regarding using radio active for Graves disease, just forget about it and move on analyze the cause hope to get cured on it's own like the books say Graves disease is self limiting. observe symptoms minus medicines and don't get thyroid profile done too often. rely more on symptoms and then get tested and take treatment if needed
