@ Brenda5 Gee I didn’t think of possibility of anaemia and should have as was an issue for me with a very late twin pregnancy. Anaemia can I gather either be iron deficiency or folic acid deficiency. Iron absorption can be enhanced with the presence of vitamin c - I had to drink a large glass of orange juice everyday for 9 months for this reason.Also whilst my anaemia “horse “ tablets were prescription only you can buy over the counter at the Chemist FeFol tablets which cover both types of anaemia. That said a check up at your gp might be a good idea to eliminate anaemia and thyroid problems. That said I agree with @Afraser fatigue has a way of catching up with us after the adrenaline surge we use during active treatment.I had 20 hours of surgery last year - not all bc - and a friend pointed out the other day that that could explain why I get tired a bit lately as the anaesthetic is still in my body.
