 4  BV Biggest side effect was the white, clumpy, cottage-cheesy discharge that started the second or third day. It comes out when I'm active (ex. walking around this morning) so I assume it's just the meds and the bacteria coming out in nasty blobs. I took a fluconazole pill when I started and did a 1 day monistat before I was diagnosed with BV so hopefully I avoid a yeast infection, will also start taking probiotics today. Itching and burning went away by dose 2. Had minor cramping/bloating/gas on and off but honestly that could just be my diet. Worked fine, I just hope the BV doesn't come back. 20 5 days

 4  BV Thick, clumpy mostly white discharge. It is very gross and freaked me out! I am prone to yeast infections, but knew this wasn't one...and it was BV. The dr said the gel worked better than the pill...wish I would have insisted upon the pill. I called my dr this morning after I noticed the discharge and she just said it was a yeast infection and gave me one dose of diflucan. I have had many yeast infections and never have had this discharge before! I hope it goes away after the medicine is done. I still have three more doses. I am also experiencing dryness and irritation. The discharge is by far the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Happy to see I'm not the only one with these symptoms. 28 5 days

 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 After finishing the five days I developed pain, burning, itching, tons of white cottage cheese like discharge and was freaked out! I didn't know what was wrong with me until I found this site and read all of the other comments similar to my results. I had no symptoms, it was discovered as a result of a routine pap and I was scared to death! I didn't know if it was an STD or what. Imagined the worst and didn't have anyone to talk to. 47 5 days

 3  BV Treating a uti turns into bv. I started the pill and had HORRIBLE side effects. Was in bed for days so they swapped me to the gel. I have bloody, mucus like discharge on day 2,3,4. Almost like i lost my mucus plug if i was pregnant. Prior to the mucus discharge, I had thick white discharge with brown specs of blood in it. Tomorrow is my last day and I can't wait for this to be over. Its been a month of me fighting all these infections. I don't know how much longer I can handle it. 27 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

 5  BV I had a strange, off-white discharge on the second day, but I didn’t have any pain or bleeding. I think maybe it was my body’s way of literally pushing out the infection but obviously I can’t say for sure. I sometimes bet the tiniest burning sensation soon after I insert the gel each night, but it’s gone in an instant. Honestly, I’m just glad I managed to get rid of my symptoms. I had a combination of BV and a UTI and I was miserable because I’m away at college and VERY far from my regular doctor. Thought I could go to planned parenthood and get it squared away easy but nope, they’re closed all weekend. I knew there was no way I could way 2 or 3 more days to get rid of the itching, so I went to an urgent care. Turns out they don’t take my insurance. Long story short: I went to the emergency room, peed in a cup, and swabbed my vagina. UTI and BV. Picked up my prescription. Feeling 10000000000% better :) F 19 5 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Dryness everywhere, ocassional mild pinching/burning durring application and clumpy discharge. Yes, this medicine has side effects. Yes, those side effects are temporary and go away. Mine lasted till day 3 and were gone by day 4 - except discharge which only lasted up to 24 hours after last dose. Mind you I had the infection for 3 months! This medicine cured my infection! About me: -No health issues (had blood work done prior to getting antibiotic). -Not on birth control or have any other contraceptive device. -No gynecological concerns (endometriosis, polycystic, ect) and average 24 day cycle. My side effects: -Dryness everywhere (yes up there too) and itchiness on face, arms and sometimes stomach. No rash. Used good lotion on skin and KY when needed on labia (?). -Mild pinching or burning durring application (occasionally). -Discharge (looked like clear gel mixed with white stuff) I did this once a day before bed. Overall, in comparison to other antibiodics I've taken this really wasn't that bad. I'm glad I did the gel instead of pills. Gooey stuff that comes out is gross, but I just wore panty liners. GYN nurse told me white discharge could be bacteria clearing!!! I did NOT get a yeast or bladder infection with it and I'm super prone to UTI's. Why? I ate 3 Activia yogurts a day (morning, lunch and dinner) and drank like a horse! Yes! Make sure to eat yogurt and drink water like crazy it'll help tremendously. Get panty liners to change out throught the day as well. I liked the 7 day instead of 5. The thing is on the 5th day a big chun F 36 7 days

 5  bv I am on the third day, have two more doses left. So far it has worked to get rid of my symptoms. The only side effect I’ve had is white clumpy discharge and sometimes it is even a little pink/maroonish. I’m wondering if I’m spotting? I saw other have this too so I am not as worried F 21 5 days
