Especially considering your family history, I'd ask your doctor to perform a thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, and free T4) during every annual physical exam to evaluate if your thyroid is underactive. The nice thing about having it done every year is that, if your first test is normal, you'll have established a "baseline"- and can treat/catch any possible hypothyroidism early if the tests continue to show decreased thyroid activity over time.
Good luck, and I sure hope your family history doesn't repeat itself with you! :-)
