Help :)

Ok, So I live in Sudan Africa. 

 

My dr says I should drink gatorade if I can get my hands on it to help prevent OHSS. I found some yesterday, but it's quite expensive like 5 bucks a bottle, and they say you should drink 1 or 2 a day, which means thats going to be a whole lot of money.

 

I drink about 5 liters of water a day, and you really need to drink this amount anyways in this desert heat!

 

and I have been eating a high protein diet.  

 

therefore my question is, is the gatorade that important ?  do you think I should spend a ton of money stocking up on this stuff.....the joys of imported products! 






After 13 chemicals/early miscarriages,

8 rounds of clomid, 
4 rounds of timed intercourse with injections, 
and 1 round of iui, 
we have moved on to IVF

IVF 2 - Cancelled - No EGGS!!! - diagnosed with possible empty follicle syndrome

    My doc said you can add a little sugar and salt to water to get a similar drink. If you google "homemade sports drink" you can find a bunch of recipes. Some just have the sugar/salt, some have kool-aid packets. All are cheaper than gatorade, though! Here is one recipe I found after not looking that hard. :) GL!


    1/2 cup orange juice9 tbs. Sugar3/8 tsp SaltWater to 2 liters   
    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
