Kenziesmum, it sounds like you may have a mild case of OHSS there. I've had it quite badly on my two stim cycles, so no transfers for me.
The thing with OHSS is that the ovaries tend to leak fluid into the abdomen, so dehydration is a real problem... Gatorade, powerade, etc are isotonic drinks which means they don't just replace the water, but they also replace the other salts and things that the body loses.
This time when I was admitted to hospital the only vein they could get for the drip at first was the one inside my elbow. 12 hours later, they still had trouble getting one in a more convenient location... And this was after 2 days of chugging down litres upon litres of nothing but gatorade.
It can be very hard to stay on top of it. I hope you stay well.
BW
