 5  Regular BN Infections Been using Metrogel for years. I've had BV more times than I can count. I always have the cottage cheese clumps, and I hate it, but the stuff works for me with no side effects at all. It does take at least one week for the clumps to fully go away and my husband won't touch me until they are gone, understandably. I started taking Acidophilus to help keep my flora at a good level and I can honestly say it has worked. I don't like fruit that much, and I don't eat the best as many of us do, but the Acidophilus (one a day) seems to really keep the BV away. I've only had it once in the past 2 years and it was my own doing because of really bad food and eating habbits and not taking the Acidophilus for more than a month. I used to get BV and the Metrogel didn't even work on one treatment until I started taking the pills. Imagine taking 10 days of Metrogel. Acidophilus is worth taking every day. I take ON777 every day already anyhow. What's one more. F 36 5 years

 5  BV for those of you wondering about this 'tissue paper' like discharge and how long after a dosage does it take to go away...my experience has been 2-3 days. i think the 'tissue paper' discharge will always be a side effect for those of us who have to use metrogel regularly. as someone said in their entry, and i also believe its just a reaction of the non-absorbed gel with other bodily fluids coming out in the form of this white, thick pasty looking stuff. but if you are trying to plan for a romantic evening hope this info is helpful...

 5  BV I have been taking m/g for a year now and have just started having the 'toilet paper' incidences. i only experience a little discharge of it, but if i stick my finger inside of me there is a lot more and i wouldn't even know it was there if i hadn't done the finger test. one other sure way to know its up there is to have sex and your sure to find it all over you and him. no discomfort at all since i have been on it which is good. every women is certainly different. i was just recently told by my doctor that bv is something some women have to live with. that is a valid point in in having this condition, otherwise you'd wonder why its not going away. i too agree the info accompanied by the medication should be more side effect specific. i have stressed for weeks wondering what was going on and also why is it happening now after being on it so long (the tissue). m/g has worked for me and kept the smell away. wondering if anyone has had success with using the supplement of good bacteria. i Overall the product helped me with the ordor. now its a matter of the 'tissue paper'. I did notice that once i stopped for a few days it went away but then the smell again so i don't know what to do about it???? any answers out there please help! F 32 1 years

 3  Repeatedly experiencing BV Got BV first time a year ago can't seem to kick it tried pills and gel for it now on the 4 month gel program. Experiencing cottage cheese discharge all the time. I wasn't told not to have sex on it and hope I'm not just recirculating it that way. Also was told not to use it during my period. I need any suggestions on how to finally kick this it's horribly gross and frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated F 42 4 months

 3  Infection Spongy white discharge and cramping. It's the oddest thing... Every month, after my period, I get a really nasty infection. It is watery, brownish and smells sooooo bad!!! The doctor said that I have some kind of bacteria down there that grows with blood??? So every month, after my period, I have to use Metro gel. Then I get this odorless, spongy, white discharge. I could not figure out what it was until I googled it. It's good to know that I'm not alone. F 28 3 months

 2  BV Not sure what to make of this stuff yet. I'm on day 4 of 5 and have felt sick for the last two days. Nausea, bloating, terrible pelvic pain, and a general feeling of unwell. I felt fine for the most part when I got the drug. I knew I had a BV infection for almost a week prior to getting the gel and my symptoms weren't anything compared to this! I also have horrible clumpy white discharge. Ew! I'm thinking I want to quit this medication but after the initial five days I'm to coninue treatment twice a week for two months. When am I ever suppossed to have sex?! I'm getting married february 14th! F 23 2 months

 1  Long term bv treatment I have been doing a long term treatment for recurrent infection (bv and yeast) starting with a week of pill form, 30 days of boric acid followed by three months gel form. Randomly about a month into the gel I got a severe yeast infection when I followed it with metro gel I started to get lower stomach pains and had pink tissue like discharge. I was concerned that it may have been an std so I went a got checked and I was clean for everything... when I searched the discharge results came up for metro gel so I'm almost positive this is the reason why I got this discharge. I think the pill form is more effective in curing but it does typically cause a yeast infection. F 22 1 months

 4  BV this medication worked great it got rid of the smell the first day. i contiued use for about a week and a couple days and then got my period and everythign was fine. as soon as i got back to school, about 3 weeks later, i felt some symptoms agian so i decided to start using it until it was gone and now i am experiencin a very think, very white cottage-cheese, wet toliet paper substance excreting from my vagina, i thought i had a bad yeast infection but there was albsolutley no smell and only a little burning but no itching. i had no clue that these were some symptoms but it didnt happen until i started to use it again. i think i am going to use a natural way to correct my bacteria.

 3  bacterial vaginosis disturbing stomach cramps, thought my ulcer flared back up. Mild cramps as of now and tissue-like discharge. Day number 3 for me and still I have an awful smell and discharge but I will continue my treatment. When does the smell normally start to let up? Will some people need more than 5-10 days of treatment to see a change. I was give four refills. Is this normal? F 29 4 weeks

 4  bacterial infection Some discomfort in my stomach/ cramping, clumpy white discharge the next morning after dosage. still currently on medication... I am still currently on the medication I have two weeks of treatment.....no more itching or burning....smell is not gone yet.....waaaaay better. but because i have a longer treatment, i suppose it will take longer for the unpleasant smell to go away. I where a pad through the day just incase of anymore discharge from the treatment.. When I am completely done with treatment plan to return to my doctor to make sure its completely 100 percent cleared up....but so far so good... F 26 2 weeks

 4  BV I too have expirenced th nasty clumps. I was prescribed this medication for the 5 days and my symptoms clearedup immeaditly. Then a few weeks down the road I again had the smell with wet underwear all the time! So I now have to take it 2 times a week for maitence. The smell goes away immediatly thank god, then for the next couple of days I have the clumps from hell! Then they go and Its back to normal for a few weeks. I worry that I have something other than BV. If I had an std or hpv would the gel work like it does for me now or would my symptoms never go away in that case?? I wonder if my husband isn't giving it back to me when we have sex after its gone. I'm very scared and imbarassed! I wish I could just be normal! I feel so gross! F 24 2 weeks

 3  BV white discharge, yeast infection, abdominal pain. I got BV after having nonsurgical abortion. I've took 3 courses of this drug, it comes back all the time, I try to explain my doctor that I probably need a longer treatment, but he even doesn't want to listen to me, says 2 weeks and that's it, I think sometimes you need much longer treatment. I am going to take combination of metronidazole cream and pills for 2 months. I really want to get rid of it, and do not want to have any complications in the future, which are way to serious. Also I read that Clindamycin (Cleocin) is more effective for BV. I want to try it, too. F 21 2 weeks

 5  BV White toilet-paper like flecks in vagina THIS ADVICE MIGHT HELP SOME WITH SIDE-EFFECTS: I am using Miphil (which is the Metrogel equivalent in Italy). I had milky white, thin (like skimmed milk) secretions from my vagina that always left my underwear wet and my lower area! No smell, but a little redness and a tiny bit of buring when I urinated. In the morning I would have more wetness/whiteness down below. My gyno suggested the following, Use Miphil (Metrogel) once every 3 days (for a month) and every morning douche with "Edenil 0,1g by Zambon". Edenil helps restore the natural PH of your vagina, while Miphil kills all bacteria (good and bad). Douching with Edenil also helps flush out the white toilet-paper like flecks. I also take a lactobaacilllus (fermenti lattici= Enterolactis) in water every morning to help restore the good bacteria (natural flora) in my intestine and eventually my vagina. Hopefully this will stop any yeast infection from coming once I stop using the gel. I'll keep you updated. F 31 1 weeks

 2  bv Burning and terrible huge white clumps, a feeling of a urinary tract infection cramping nausea with alcohol consumption. Well i visited my doc about the side effects he examined me and put the discharge under a slide he said its mucus and skin from the inside of the vaginal wall cervix and uterus he said the medication causes the skin and the infected mucus to clump up and peel off and that it burns because it has a small amount of alcohol in it. This is the second time i have taken it had the symptoms both times no blood though. I got chronic bv after leep procedure F 28 1 weeks
