I hate gatorade.

blech. I'm only on day 3 of drinking 32oz + of gatorade and I already want to barf. between the gatorade, the multiple shots a day, and the muscle max protein bars (seriously, they recommended these), I feel like a juice head in training. I'm sure my colleagues are wondering WTF is up with me because I'm usually pretty diligent about what I eat.

I know that it will be so worth it if I don't get sick and even more worth it if this actually works, but man this stuff tastes like shiit.

ok, vent over. back to my met-rx big 100 chocolate chip cookie dough meal replacement bar which is not at all as good as it sounds like it would be.

Ditto. I HATE gatorade & DH keeps trying to get me to drink it b/c I told him about the benefits with regards to OHHS. BTW...did your RE advise you to drink gatorade or did you start drinking it on your own? JW b/c I haven't really been too worried about drinking it unless they tell me to.

Can I ask why you have to do this?

They specifically told me to start drinking gatorade and majorly up my protein intake once I started stimming because I developed OHSS the last time I did a fresh cycle. They said it can make a big difference in preventing OHSS as well as alleviating it if you do happen to get it. I'll try anything, I guess!

My RE also told me to drink Gatorade and V8. I was also told to eat salty snacks.

Mari - It helps reduce the risk of OHSS

Good to know. I'm trying to get all the info I can so that when I go in for my IVF I won't be feeling slow..

My RE has not told me this, but I'm wondering if I should? My E2 is 1519 after 7 nights of stims & I have about 25 follies growing. My RE doesn't seem concerned so I'm trying not to be, but stimming is getting more uncomfortable - that's for sure.

You might be at a slightly higher risk just because you have so many follies. If I were you, I wouldn't stress out about it - especially if your RE is not concerned, but if you can maybe pick up some gatorade/V8 and try and up your protein over the next few days. It's sort of one of those "won't hurt, may help" kind of things. GL!!
