Pounding water as FET-Prep?

in Success after IF

My fav nurse who usually doesn't freak about anything, was pounding into my head I SIMPLY MUST drink 8-10 glasses of water/non-caff bev a day. Now until FET and then some.

I'll admit I don't drink enough, but kinda scoffed at how she made it seem my hydration level would make or break the transfer.

Any of you ever get that "stern warning" or she's just being weird?   (I'll drink the water, I need to anyways, but still.....)

    I did a FET and no one ever mentioned how much water I had to drink. The only "water requirement" for me was to have a full bladder before transfer so I had to drink a certain amount for that. I will admit I don't drink as much water as I should and didn't even then. Obviously my FET was fine since Hayden is here from it.

    No one told me that...just to have a full bladder at transfer.  Maybe she knows something we don't know.  Heck...it's worth a try to me...what can it hurt?

    very interesting.......maybe she is weird or has a psychic ability that told her if you drink 8 glasses of water you will get pg?  Oh--wait--your gonna get PG regardless.  I know it

    I don't think that water is the secret miracle here, but I think it can help... (get rid of toxins in your body, stay well hydrated) and if nothing else at least your skin will look great ;p
