I don't think you should have re-potted while it's in flower....that might be your problem rather than the compost.

Flowers put most of their energy into flowering, if they start to stress they will shed their flowers to concentrate on staying alive.
If you have moved it thats probably what is happening.
Its trying to establish new roots and it cant do that and flower
