| 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 0.75% 1X day | 2/25/2023 | 5 | BV but no odor | No side effects. It Worked on day one. Discharge subsided the very next day. The gel never leaked out. I'm curious as to how it absorbs. Took it at bedtime and the next day I worked standing on my feet all day. No leakage. Wore a pad thinking it would be messy; no leakage no discharge. | Worked immediately. On day 2/5 | F | 49 | 5 days 1X day | 2/10/2023 | 5 | BV | NORMAL discharge...I repeat, this is NORMAL. This is an anti-biotic, think about it for a minute. There is only one way out of the vagina, babe. The bacteria has to go somewhere.. It's all OK, just get through the week and roll on. | True, taking the pill treatment gives the convenience of everything coming in through the bloodstream and out through the "back door," but FOR ME, I like having a refill of this on hand at pharmacy so I don't have to go the GYN every time I figure it out during or after sex (you know what I'm talking about). We know what it is, gimme the gel Doc. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 11/8/2021 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Cramps, Metallic Taste, Slight Headache, Fatigue | The Dr prescribed me to take for 7 nights. I took for 5 nights. It appears to not be gone away completely because I didn't finish the remaining 2 days. I took a yeast pill after to prevent yeast infection. Not sure if I should start treatment over or just wait a few more days for relief. I don't what to go to the Dr again. | F | 43 | 5 days 70G 1X day | 5/15/2021 | 5 | I have used this several times with no side effects. However, this morning I had two large white clumpy clots. I did not like this. | F | 48 | 5 days 1X day | 2/27/2021 | 5 | Great | 0 days 1X day | 1/21/2021 | 5 | BV | I don't know why there are so many negative comments. I have used this multiple times and I literally swear by it. It has my vagina smelling perfect after and it works so well. Yes there is clumpy discharge but that is just your vagina working it's magic and pushing out the infection the clumpiness will go away in a few days. I repeatedly get BV for the past few years they think it might be because it can get transmitted back and forth from your partner/ some people just have unbalanced pH levels which bacteria thrives in so it's not their fault nor can they do much about it. This stuff works like magic on it though. | F | 23 | 5 days 70g 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 5 | Bacterial Infection | White, clumpy discharge but a little different than yeast infection. BV clumps are way bigger for me. I also had brown, flaky like discharge. Looked like dry blood and it's happened before. Not sure if this is normal or not since I do have an IUD. | F | 20 | 5 days 1X O | 10/3/2020 | 5 | I had bv | I'm on day 4 and so far so good | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 7/29/2020 | 5 | Bv | White spongy balls, also has what looks like reddish brown discharge combination. Odor gone since the first tubal application. Yes, I'm bloated in my abdomen, can even get a little nauseous, but it works a heck of alot better than the metronidazole pill. The pill works, but that taste it leaves even when meds are completed..yuck...also the pills make me very nauseous. | I love that it's clear and 5 days. | F | 43 | 5 days 1X day | 7/9/2020 | 5 | BV | On day one and about an hour after first dose i had the clear gel coming out with thick white clumps. It's been about 4 hours now and the smell has cleared up. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms but will update post if I do. | 5.5 months pregnant. Used pill first and had horrible side effects | F | 33 | 5 days | 6/27/2020 | 5 | BV | Gas, minor bloating, fatigue, cottage cheese-like discharge (days 2-5, and a few days after completion) no odor associated with discharge | I have taken oral antibiotic for BV before, this did not seem to have nearly as large of an impact on daily life as oral antibiotic. While vaginal insertion of gel was"inconvenient", the gel itself was less invasive than yeast treatment (cream) and seemed to stay put better than the antifungal cream. 5 days is also much better than the 7 or 10 day oral antibiotic treatments I've had. Will take again. Also considering the idea of using for prevention on the 2x a week scheme my midwife mentioned. | F | 27 | 5 days | 6/25/2020 | 5 | BV | Thick white chunky discharge | Chunky discharge after 5 days | F | 25 | 5 days | 6/17/2020 | 5 | Bv | Only the clumpy discharge | I love it works almost immediately.Those who experience other issue may have smth more than bv. | F | 38 | 3 days 5 days | 6/5/2020 | 5 | Chronic BV | Pink and white clumpy discharge with no odor | F | 36 | 4 months 5 grams | 2/21/2020 | 5 | BV | I had a strange, off-white discharge on the second day, but I didnt have any pain or bleeding. I think maybe it was my bodys way of literally pushing out the infection but obviously I cant say for sure. I sometimes bet the tiniest burning sensation soon after I insert the gel each night, but its gone in an instant. | Honestly, Im just glad I managed to get rid of my symptoms. I had a combination of BV and a UTI and I was miserable because Im 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, theyre 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 dont 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 25MG | 11/6/2019 | 5 | BV | I had to use the cream for 5 days the only side effect I had was the clumpy tissue like discharge and I was so nervous because I wasn't sure what it was . Contacted my NP and she said it's perfectly fine . States I'll have it for a few days it's only a side effect . | F | 23 | 5 days | 10/31/2019 | 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 Ive had is white clumpy discharge and sometimes it is even a little pink/maroonish. Im wondering if Im spotting? I saw other have this too so I am not as worried | F | 21 | 5 days | 4/3/2019 | 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 1 tube ful | 7/6/2018 | 5 | BV after a UTI | I was introduce to metrogel when I was about 20 years old it always been affect with me and does the job better than oral medication down size is cramping a little and bowel movement I figure it working | F | 40 | 5 days 1x a day | 4/8/2017 |
