When will I stop peeing?

I started the 17DD yesterday and by dinner time I was constantly going to the bathroom... and all through the night while trying to sleep... at least once per hour! I'm guessing it was mostly the green tea (next pitcher I make will be 1/2 decaf). I realize the lemon water also works as a diuretic... but is it going to get better? I'm concerned that whatever is making me go to the bathroom is going to have to be skipped on nights that I work... with an hour long commute, and patient care, I can't be running to the bathroom constantly!

I never had that problem. Are you tracking your intake of fluids?

I do get a really sore bladder if I drink more than 10 glasses of anything during the day. I think it is just too much constant pressure.

Keep track of all your fluids -- not just water. I know there is a huge debate about whether tea counts as water, but it definitely counts as fluids and is mostly water. You don't want to drown your poor system.

And stop drinking anything after 8pm. You should be able to make it through the night.
