Hi there, thank you for your question and concerns.
Certainly anorexia disorder will certainly disrupt your cycle with low estrogen that accompanies the disorder. Not withstanding, restoration of body weight reverses low estrogen state and restores your cycle in majority of cases.
Regarding your ovarian reserve i.e "how many eggs in store" is not certain. However, a blood work which is Anti-Mullerian Hormone aka AMH, could be drawn to determine its level and may give an idea of how much ovarian reserve you may have.
Kindly visit with your GYN/Primary care doctor to discuss this further.

Thanks for contacting me. You did not post any questions, other than your symptoms, I'm inclined you want some explanation to these symptoms. Certain at 35 weeks - which yoy may be 37 weeks as of today, you will feel tired and mobility will begin to be challenging, but should not be debilitating. The nausea even though not unusual should not be persistence. If this continues, be sure to visit with your OB provider.
