 4  bacterial vaginosis worked after first day treatment. had fishy smell and creamy discharge. thought it was a yeast infection but dr gave me diflucan pill amd symptoms did not go away. I'm on my 4th day and all symptoms are gone. no fishy smell or discharge. the only thing I don't like is the discharge from the medicine coming out. very creamy and clumpy kinda like wet tissue paper or glue from a glue stick. can't wait till it all comes out. other than that it works great! 4 days

 3  BV Clumpy white discharge, cramping, nausea, fatigue. I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and my doctor prescribed me this stuff. The clumpy discharge didnt appear till day 4, but scared me because I was concerned for the baby. I read it was normal though, i feel queasy often. Hoping this doesnt have any effects on my baby..I feel him kick alot, but I also have been cramping way more than usual. F 5 days

 3  BV Didn't even know I had BV until my gyno took a swab. I'm on day 2 and on day 1 I had clear and white discharge with clumps as well as some spotting. Is that normal? My gyno says it's not supposed to cause any bleeding and I'm freaking out. My period is not due till next week. I guess I'll make another appointment. It's weird, but I hope it helps! 5 days

 1  BV? Gross, glittery discharge at random times during the day. Vulvodynia for the past 10 years. Spasms (seizures?!) in upper thighs. Pain. I think this caused my vulvodynia! I've been to too many doctors to count, and still the burning doesn't go away. My first problem occured from a traumatic sexual encounter and was mainly bladder pain. After taking this and then having to take yeast meds, I developed severe burning and weird discharge. Doctors then decided I was having a reaction to the metrogel and yeast drugs! The second time it was prescribed, I woke up having tiny shakes in my upper legs and tingling in hands. This scared me so much I refuse to take it ever again. Use at your own risk. I still don't think I ever had BV or if I did if it was something that needed medication. My problems were apparently unrelated to the supposed BV, as I never felt any BV sx, and taking this med only made me suffer! F 7 days

 1  Bacterial Vaginosis The drug gave me a severe yeast infection as well as creating long term sensitivity in my vulvar area, causing what my doctor described as "provoked vulvar vestibulitis". I live in persistent pain that gets worse after intercourse. Three years, and lots of physical therapy and I still cannot have sex regulary. The side effects should be better communicated, they are more severe than what most doctors assume. F 3 days

 1  Yeast infection I used the gel one night and when I woke up to pee I noticed blood after wiping and a bit on my panty. I thought I might have hurt myself when I applied the applicator but the next day it got worse , it was like I was on my period but with blood clots and blood gel like stuff. I had bad cramps in the morning and it’s embarrassing because when I’m with my boyfriend I always have to excuse myself for the bathroom because of the stomach pains. Is this normal? I’m freaking out. And it’s only my 1st dose and the side effects or whatever are hitting me badly. I don’t like this gel F 5 days

 1  BV Burnt not just burning. Actual chemically burnt which caused crusting during healing process. Long term damage is vulvodina This is a sulfa based antibiotic as told to me by my dermatologist. Reaction was similar to Steven johnson syndrome. The physician should have not given this to me nor the flagyl, due to my previous adverse reaction to Sulfa antibiotics causing damage to my liver. Most physicians do not know that this and flagyl are in the Sulfa antibiotic category. F 1 days

 3  Bacterial Vaginosis Im not sexually active and I've been having reoccurring BV infections, took the pill at first and it seemed to help, but it came right back. Doc switch to gel and I'm on my first refill, have it again. Both times I had pelvic pains and cramps and I haven't had a period for awhile now, but I'm getting purple discharge that I have a sneaky suspicion is blood and I don't know whether I hurt myself with the applicator or having another scanty period. I've been trying to stay hydrated, I drink a soft drink a day along with 3 or 4 bottled waters but I'm not urinating as much as I usually do and there is a slight burn that lasts for a few minutes after I urinate. The first time taking this medicine I wasn't surprised when I saw the cottage-cheese-like stuff but I was concerned when I passed a green, membrane-like clump/clot with blood on the surface. I had no other issues with bleeding until today. It does seem to help the symptoms go away, but both it and the pill can only keep the infections at bay for a few days. I don't want to have to continue using this product, the uncomfort outweighs the short feeling of relief for the days afterward. I think I'll be making another appointment to see what we can do for me long-term since this won't let up. Please feel free to contact me if you know more about my symptoms and this product. F 15 7 days
