 1  BV: Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Bleeding On the 3rd night I noticed flakes of what looked like blood and tissue maybe and then by the next day I started having clots (some were pretty big) and a lot of bleeding after taking the vaginal Metro-gel (short for full name). I was very concerned because it was way more bleeding than I get with my menstrual cycle which I had about a week and a half before I started this medicine so the bleeding shouldn't have been my period. I wasn't having any major pains or issues so I assumed it was some strange reaction to the medication and tried to not get worked up about it, plus it was the weekend and I couldn't get a hold of my doctor. As soon as I stopped the medication the bleeding would stop but started once I tried it again so I stopped taking it. I was already on my 5th day (last day) but my doctor still sent in the pill version for me just in case and I guess wanted me to take that even though my 5 days was up. At the time I still don't know why I bleed so much, other than the medication doing something. The doctor said maybe Fibroids, I've never known that I've had those but I guess that could be why along with some other reasons. Unfortunately I can't say right noe for sure why I started bleeding though, other than it being because of that medication. I don't notice the odor as much that was there before (whi F 40 5 days

 4  Postpartum bacterial infection I went in due to pelvic pain that never went away after prolonged lochia and was told I have developed a bacteria l infection. I had been using spermicide. I had no bad smells or odd discharge. The gel is easy, it does not burn or itch at all. The first day or 2 I would get a bout of white discharge but it seemed to be the product. The 3rd day back to clear then the 4th day it was clear again except it looked like someone opened a jar of red glitter in me. 5th day there is more bleeding. I think my tubes were partially full of air so I will be using it one more time. The pelvic pain subsided though. I would use it again (I am bf) Bloody discharge seems to be normal. F 33 5 days

 5  BV White discharge mixed with the gel, brown hard clumps of vagina tissue, very mild cramping Only started getting the brown hard clumps of tissue around day 4-5 and they went away the day after my last treatment. The white clumps were very small and unproblematic. The gel worked very fast but always finish your dosage completely to kill all bad bacteria! F 20 5 days

 4  BV I had pretty bad cramping all throughout the treatment but got worse towards day 3, on about day 2 or 3 I started having very weird chunky cottage cheese discharge like you would in a yeast infection then it turned out to have chunks of dark brown/red and now today on day 5 it's huge chunks of red chunky discharge and I was severely freaked out because it doesn't say that as a side effect on the box or anywhere!

 2  BV Thick white clumpy discharge, fleshy colored tissue like discharge accompanied by a small amount of pink discharge. The specks of tissue looking discharge terrified me because I am 5 weeks pregnant and non of the sites for the medication list this as a side effect but all the pregnancy blogs tell you that's a symptom of miscarriage. So so happy I found this thread. F 30 3 days

 2  Bv I have had bv in the past and I didn't do too well with the metronidazole pills so I switched to the gel for 5 days before bed. the first 2 days white clumpy discharge, frequent urination. on day 5 I noticed burning sensation and sharp pain in lower stomach I've also had clumps of like rubbery clots come out of me. The gel was more convenient for me because it didn't cause the side effects the pill did but I'm second guessing the gel now as well. F 24 5 days
