EXTREMELY TIRED ..Please HELP!

[MissM]

Hey Ladies,

Just wanting a little advice here.

For the past week I have been STRUGGLING to stay awake. I usually hear the alarm go off and I'm up bouncing out of bed - however for the last week I've been DRAGGING myself out anywhere from 6.15 -6.25am. Work has been an absolute STRUGGLE and I drag myself around doing my everyday work chores that I would do without blinking an eye ...

My sleeping routine has NOT changed, foods have NOT changed, I have NOT been doing ANYTHING different.

I had a routine check up done about 2-3 months ago and everything was normal (Iron levels etc)

To give you an example - Friday night i fell asleep at 7.50pm DP woke me at midnight, I got into bed fell asleep straight away and woke at around 930 sat morning. THEN Sat, I slept from around 3pm-530, woke up fell asleep at 8ish again DP woke me at midnight to get into bed, and woke up at 830 this morning. Today - I have slept for an hour ish and I needed to have a shower to wake myself up a bit, in saying that - I could go to bed and sleep, but i have ironing etc that needs to be done.

Can anyone suggest what could be wrong? Anything??

Hmmm, that has only happened to me in very early pregnancy. In fact it's how I knew I was pg with DD without even testing!

You're not UTD are you?

[MissM]

DP and I thought maybe UTD - but I'm only 7DPO today .... I couldnt have symptoms that early on ... could i??

[~Trish~]

I'm not sure! I had tiredness at about 10dpo with DD. I hope that's what it is for you!

If not, go and see your GP and get your iron levels tested just in case they're low.

Best of luck

My first thought is you could be UTD, and my 2nd is that your thyroid might be playing up. I also notice your ticker shows you are losing weight. How are you doing this (ie atkins, slimfast, or old fashioned diet and exercise). If it is a restrictive diet then a sudden loss in energy could be attricuted to your body lacking a particular thing, like protein or carbs.

It could also be a virus or something, sometimes the only symptom you get is tiredness.

Regardless of the cause if you still feel like this in a week then a trip to the GP might be in order

First thing that comes to mind is UTD hehe cause that's what I have had!!! And also maybe low Iron levels can make u really tired so try eating some red meat or spinach!!!

[MissM]

Thanks girls, If I am still feeling the same way in the middle of the week i will go see my Dr.

Hopefully we are UTD but i dont think any symptoms would be showing yet lol

Maybe you O'd earlier than you think you did?

[MissM]

hmmmmm, you could be right ... we'll wait and see aye
