Gatorade...oh how I loathe you!

Well...I guess the title of this post pretty much says it all. I have been drinking (guzzling) Gatorade since last Tuesday when Matthew and I went to the RE for our trigger shot instructions. Since I had an insane amount of follicles and eggs I am at a higher risk for developing OHSS (see definitions in the right hand column). Even though they empty the follicles during egg retrieval, the follicles refill with fluid. The fluid can then seep out into the abdomen causing lots of problems if not dealt with properly. So in order to try and prevent this problem I was told to drink Gatorade and lots of it. Gatorade helps rid the body of the fluid much better than water does apparently. So I started my Gatorade regimine last Tuesday. I was doing fine until today. Today every sip of it makes me want to hurl.

I've tried changing flavors which helped yesterday, but today it doesn't matter what flavor I'm drinking. I have to choke it down. I still have about a week to go before I'm out of the woods with OHSS, so I know I need to keep drinking it, and I'm doing my best, but man is it tough! I've been supplimenting with water today. Every sip of Gatorade is followed by several gulps of water. Anything to make it go down easier! I'm still using the bathroom very frequently which is a great sign, so I'm not overly concerned, but I do need to drink more Gatorade than I have so far today. One thing's for sure, I will NEVER be able to drink Gatorade again after this!

My precious little embabies (which my mother has lovingly named Spot and Dot hehe) PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE stick so that your mommy didn't go through all of this for nothing!!!!!!!

Oh and I will apologize now...until the betas, my posts will probably be random and pretty dumb like this. There won't be much to report between now and then. :o)
