? about gatorade...

I have read that you girls drink gatorade to prevent OHSS.  For my last cycle with the RE we did Gonal-F with a trigger and IUI.  I got a BFP but unfortunately it didnt work out.  I recently had a D&C and we think we will move on to IVF with PGD. 

So here is my question- my RE said that my left ovary is still enlarged, and it has to go back to its original size before we can stim again.  Will drinking gatorade now help the situation?  Or is just during stimming to prevent OHSS?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I am new over here!  Thanks!

    Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I don't think drinking Gatorade is going to do the trick. As I understand it, OHSS causes fluid retention in the abdomen, and drinking the Gatorade helps with that, but I dont think it actually causes the ovaries to shrink back to normal size. My guess is that only time will help with that.
