Can fatigue and nausea result from menstrual issues?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old. I had unprotected sex near the end of my period. We used the withdrawal method. Everything seemed fine. I did not get any symptoms of early pregnancy because I did end up getting my period. However, I am still feeling very tired. Sometimes nauseous now and then. It is hard to focus on tasks as well. I think my problem is that I am not eating enough. I want to know if the symptoms of fatigue and nausea are caused by not eating enough or if they could be something related to my menstrual cycle.

Kindly help.
