Dori,
Sounds like a plan, but just be careful with the tested levels,  they can
read borderline for years when all along one was in full blown
hypothyroid such as Hashimotos.  Here are a few websites to check out.

This one is a site about hypothyroid Graves Disease. *most people are
hypo before they hit the hyper stage*
