The Consumption of Mass Quanities of Fluids

With IVF I was told you need to drink while stimming (giving yourself shots) at least 4 liters a day if not more and 1 liter should be something with electrolytes in it. Doing so is suppose to help prevent OHSS. 

It will be quite a challenge to get that much down in 24hours. I am imagining many trips up the stairs to the bathroom. Just had to add some humor to that with the picture below :)

I've been looking for an electrolyte not as sugary as Gatorade (although I did buy two big bottles to start me off with) and no artificial sweeteners as I read that can cause miscarriage. Someone suggested coconut water (guess Target sells it) or make your own pedialyte so found a few recipes sharing below.

Grape Homemade Pedialyte Recipe:

1 liter drinkable water

1 tablespoon salt

2-3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 packet grape kool-aid

Cherry Homemade Pedialyte Recipe:

1 liter drinkable water

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon salt

3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 packet cherry jello

( I guess you can freeze them into ice cubes or Popsicle too may make it easier to get down)
