Hi all. I got my positive result on Friday, I'm exactly 4 weeks today. However I have noticed that I am feeling extremely thirsty, particularly today. Had to drink 3.5 pints when I woke up this morning as I was so parched, and have continued to drink throughout the day whilst I've been at work. I've estimated I must've drunk around 4L so far today - and the day's not even over yet.
The first few hours of work involved fairly moderate exercise, the rest was only light. Dozed off for 2 hours and woke up completely parched.
I read that drinking too much too soon can actually have the opposite effect and make you worse since it can dilute the concentration of salts etc. in your body. Do you think this is what I've done (and should therefore try to slow it down a bit) or should I listen to my body and just drink what I want?
Already had a MC so don't want to do anything that could be harmful.
