Another OHSS question, this one asking about gatorade..

So, today I am finally feeling more like myself, and the RE had me in again today and confirmed my lungs are clear.  But, none of my bloat has gone away.  Even though I am peeing like crazy.  Has been for about 2 days only, so far, with the peeing that is, had this ohss going on for 9 days now.

Question...which is prob. dumb.  But, do you continue with the gatorade until your bloat goes away?  Because there are so many carbs, I mean if you figure on how much you are drinking.  And that seems bad to me...I mean who knows how long this piggy-like belly is gonna hang on...lol...But don't get me wrong..I don't mind continuing it if it makes it go away and doesn't cause any problems.  I also got some pedilyte and coconut water...I like the gatorade better for having to drink a lot though.  And is it ok to drink regular water while the bloat is still here?  I read somewhere it can make it worse.

Husband normal. 3 Failed IUI with letrazole, 1 cycle canceled with letrazole bc no follicle development. Took break...natural pregnancy...resulted in miscarriage@6wks, D&C. Currently(2013) started injectables(Menopur)&will do another IUI. Have been doing acupuncture weekly for 2 yrs. On metformin and supplements.

    I don't have any experience, but could you try some of the lower sugar Gatorade or maybe some vitamin water light?  

    Feel better.

    The importance is the electrolytes so if the pediasure or coconut water have it you're good.  I'd look on the internet for other ways to get electrolytes if you want to cut down on the gatorade carbs.
