Hi Cath - best of luck with your treatment. It's never too soon to start drinking more water and it can only do you good (apart from the trips to the loo all the time!!) I must admit I didnt drink 2 litres religiously or anything like that when I was having treatment and it still worked (am 21 weeks pg this week on 3rd attempt at icsi!!)but it will definately do you good to drink as much as you can.<br><br>Really really hope it works for you this time - if you've had a failure in the past it's hard to imagine that it can ever work, especially if you feel exactly the same during the 2ww - but it can! I was so convinced it hadnt worked, so positive thinking all the way!!<br><br>Lots of Love - Jo. xxxx
