why am I do dry?

I am 7 weeks out and am still do dry/dehydrated. What can I do to help this. I am drinking my water I had to get iv fluids at 4 weeks for dehydration and it got better for a couple days but now I'm right back there. Yesterday I didn't pee for 15 hours and when I did it was so dark. Thinking I may have to go get more fluids.

how much water or fluid are you getting in a day?

Are you getting in some sodium? It is hard to hold any fluids when you are dehydrated unless you also have some electrolytes. Water and protein drinks will not give you sufficient sodium.

I feel dehydrated unless I do at least 100 oz of fluid (mostly water) a day....

I have not been counting how many ounces I get in nut I would estimate 40-60 guess I just need to up It. I was thinking of going to the ed to get some iv fluids cause I'm just feeling so dry. I wouldn't be able to go for another day though.

I would definitely do what it takes to get re-hydrated, so if you need the IV by all means. SMO has a point, can you get down some Powerade or something that can get your electrolytes up and some sodium (it will help you withold some fluids)? Hang in there.

To get your fluids in, try using a special cup or bottle. For instance I have a Teva cup that holds 24 oz. I drink 3 - 4 of these a day. The first 2 fills are Crystal Light then the last 2 are Water.

Hope you'll be able to get your fluids in.
