    After my ER I got OHSS and chugged that stuff like it was going out of style.  It really helped.  I will def be mainlining it after my ER this time to avoid that noise.

    I think gatorade is gross, and will not be drinking it. Back before my TTC days, my regular doc told me that you could put a teaspoon of sugar and (i think) a 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a large glass of water and it would do pretty much the same thing as gatorade.

    I plan on drinking lots of water with a little lemonade mixed in and eating salty snacks. I feel this should cover my bases. 

     

    4 IUIs: Bfn
    Antagonist IVF 7 retrieved, 4 fert w/ICSI&AH, 2 blasts transferred. Beta #1 9/20: 367 Beta #2 9/22: 841

    I was told that it helps flush out your ovaries and dry them out a bit so there is less of a chance of the empty follicles and ovaries filling with fluid and causing OHSS after the ER.

    Thanks!!!  It sounds like a great idea!  I'm definitely chugging water, but I'd be open to adding Gatorade.

    *New RE* Feb/Mar 2012 100 mg Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN
    *3rd RE* April-June -Break Cycles begin prep for IVF by doing 2 Heparin injects daily....fun fun!
    IVF #1 - ER 7/19, ET 7/24, 2 beautiful embies transferred. Beta 8/2 = BFN

    I did G2 between retrieval and transfer.  I didn't have any OHSS or much pain from the retrieval though, but I figured better safe than sorry.

    I had heard that you should drink gatorade after the ER too but never knew why! Thanks for that :)

    I drank a ton of Powerade, Gatorade and Smart Water after ER. I don't know if it helped prevent any kind of OHSS or not (since I didn't have that), but I actually like the taste of the stuff so it wasn't much of a sacrifice.

    At your ladies' discussion, I picked up some Smart Water (it was on sale!).  I love it anyway, so always a good excuse to buy it. ;)
