Im trying to be a good patient and drink this stuff. Ive never really had gatorade before. RE is starting to worry that I might overstim so I'm doing what I can to prevent that. Anyone know approx how many mgs of Sodium I should have to prevent OHSS?

    I love Gatorade! But I only like Gatorade X-Factor and Gatorade Tiger. The rest are too blah. Fruit punch is the best. Lemon/limeade is good too.

    Try Power Aid.  I think it tastes a bit better and it does the same thing.  My RE suggests Pedialite instead of gatoraid.

    I'm not a huge fan of gatorade either.  It tastes to salty for me.

    Agreed! Gatorade only tastes good to me when I'm working out and sweating a ton.

    Since I haven't been able to do that in the midst of this process, it's been a chore. Oh well. 

    No idea on how much sodium is good or even if it is. I read all kinds of conflicting stuff about sodium and OHSS when I was at home sick with it.

    Not sure if you've tried it,but Gatorade's G2 tastes better to me - few calories, not as heavy/sweet.  I like the grape and lemon/lime - yum!

    I agree!  I'm not sure exactly how much sodium you're supposed to have.  I never really drank Gatorade before doing IVF!  I didn't want all the carbs so I drank the G2.  It wasn't as bad. 

    Do you like tomato juice?  I drank that,too, with my OHSS.  RE recommended drinking tomato juice, too, in addition to gatorade.

    Good luck!
