Welcome to the forum! I'm don't have Graves but I'm sure someone will come along with some helpful advice. I am hypo but my Levo didn't work as well when I reached the menopause and I'm certain different amounts of hormones around is bound to have some effect.
My diagnosis of Graves came alongside me starting my menopause.
I think that I have been borderline hyper, with no obvious symptoms, all/most of my life but when I started the menopause and my hormones declined noticeably, it may have kicked me over the edge.
It was very difficult sometimes to know which condition was causing which symptom.
Thank you for your reply, it's such a minefield.
