 5   I got the white, chunky, gel-like discharge after the 2nd day of use and continuing through all days of use. No side affects at all . i was accttually wondering if after the 5th day can you become sexually active again? Would you get infected again? F 19

 5  bacterial infection I did experience the stringy clumpy discharge as many have already stated, however I took that to believe that the medication was working. I have never experience headaches from taking this medication(that I am aware of). I have never experienced bad cramping. I'd rather deal with symtoms such as a headache than an itcy vagina. For me the good out weighs the bad regarding this medication. Overall I really was satisfied with the outcome of taking this medication, and would take it again if necessary. I have taken this medication when necessary for about two years and have no complaints about the outcome. F 35

 5  BV No side effects. I actually drank while using it and had no side effects. If you take the Oral medication you will be VERY ILL. Don't even have a sip of alcohol. I think I took used the gel once a day for 7 days. It was awhile ago so I don't really remember but let me tell you its a miracle! I was so embarressed. I asked a good friend thats a doctor about what i should do and he recommended it. So thankful. F 26

 3  BV Lots of large white clumps and brown spongy stuff that looked like flesh more recently. I took the pill form back in May! (Today is 7-8-09) The brown things just started coming out a few days ago, that really concerns me. I've gone to 4 doctors now who know my entire history since this began in May and none of them mentioned this! I even had an ultrasound done yesterday! If this is the true cause of my symptoms I am so mad!!!! I have missed so much work going to doctors that give me "normal" test results!! F 26

 3  BV I have taken this before...orally..but have just been prescribed the gel...i havent started it yet, because its thanksgiving eve and i want to drink tonite...how long do i truly have to wait to drink alcohol..im not an alcoholic but im young and go out all the time...my weekends will suck if i cant party haha! im not sure why everyone here thinks they have a yeast infection though...i mean isnt it common sense that when you put white gooey substances up your vagina, that its going to come back out? thats all it is you know...i mean it might be a yeast infection...but chances are that its just the metro gel coming back out!

 3  Gardnerella Devolped a discharge on my 4th day. Went to the pharmacy and got some over the counter yeast infection cream, Monistat, because i really thought it was a yeast infection (it totally looked like cottage cheese coming out of me). I took it and it burned like crazy. The next day i called the doctor, she confirmed that it is a yeast infection and gave me a prescription for Diflucan (fluconzanole). Took the first last Thursday, the discharge got better witin 2-3 days. Took the second and last on Sunday, no discharge but still a bit uncomfortable especially at night and in the mornings. Well, the yeast infection is a major side effect. Don't be fooled, it is not the meds coming out; if it looks like cottage cheese (touch and squeeze it, it even has the texture) it is yeast. F 51

 3  BV the lovely tissue papery gunk that everyone has mentioned. has anyone been prescribed this drug for an indefinite amount of time? saw my gyno who prescribed two weeks of it and the BV still didn't go away. now she's saying to take it twice a week forever! not sure how good it is for my body to constantly be on antibiotics and if i'm not supposed to be drinking while on this stuff, my quality of life has gone way the hell down!

 1  BV First Tri Pregnancy/Miscarriage Clumpy, tissuey, bloody discharge. Severe cramping to the point of doubling over, itching, burning, tightness I started taking this drug after my first pregnancy appointment. My doctor said that it was safe to use. I used it for only five days and then started miscarrying. I attributed it to stress. I had some left over and got another BV infection 8 mos later. I started to use it again. Severe cramping appeared within the first two days and then my period came on almost 7 days early. Now after carefully reading the package and this website, I am starting to wonder if MetroGel caused me to lose my baby. This product was never tested on humans and the pregnant mice that it was tested on, interuterine deaths did occur. If you have seen anything like this please let me know. F 26

 2  BV Heart racing, burning, cramping from abdomin, my lower back and down my legs, severe UTI like symptoms. I have SLE (Lupus) and it brought on a nasty flare up too. I only took one dose and was totally unable to walk yesterday due to the horrific pain. I was just checked for a UTI and it feels like pain level of 10. It hase been 40 hours since the one and only dose and I am still in extreme pain. I can't say not to take it because I am sure that it has helped many people. Lupus sufferers beware though.

 1  BV I had nausea, fatigue, cramping and severe vaginal bleeding. I ended up in the ER twice in one week due to what I believed to be hemorraging. I had tests performed including, blood and urine, ultrasound and vaginal ultrasound. Two weeks ago I went in for a cervical and uterine biopsy. The Dr.'s were all baffled and have all told me that all is fine. I have been placed on birth control pills for the next three months to control the abnormal bleeding despite NEVER having bleeding between periods. All this due to Metrogel? I'm grateful to have found this site especially since I just started another dose last night. I won't continue with the treatment. I could have saved my sanity as well as a lot of money for copays and medication had these side effects been mentioned somewhere or by someone at the time of prescribing. F 36 3 times

 5  bv Loved it, the odor was gone by the next morning. Other than the discharge taking up to a week to leave, that would be my only draw back to it F 45 5 times

 5  BV Yeast Infection I'm prone to BV so I consider myself a professional Metro-Gel user. I've been familiar with this drug for over 5 years, it's second nature to pick up a box of Monistat when I pick up the Metro-Gel with the expectation that as soon as I complete the pink box, I'll hit the blue. It's really no big deal, it's kind of like rebooting your vaginal area...once you're done everything is completely back to normal!! F 30 15 times
