| 4 | BV | Took metrogel for 5 days at bedtime as described by GYN . Started to notice white clumpy discharge w/ no odor on 2-3 day. Came up on my last day and the next morn noticed maroon colored discharged kinda freaked me out. Not to sure if that's also a side effect but I am going to consult w/ my GYN | It does work | F | 24 | 5 days | 8/3/2015 | 4 | Bv | Got an off balance feeling and itching | Tonight is last night of the metrogel.. I've had Bv off and on for about 2 years, would use cleocin every other time but I think I developed a resistance for it so now I'm giving metrogel a try. It seems to be working, but I'm concerned about this itching I'm having still. | F | 21 | 5 days | 8/1/2015 | 4 | Bv | Felt a little off balance (dizzy)? And had some itching | Last night was the last dose for my treatment. I've had Bv off and on for about 2 years now, was using the cleocin gel but it seems like that medicine stopped working for me so I went ahead and tried metrogel. I haven't really experienced the "clumpy cottage cheese discharge" like most have but what little does come out makes me itch. The smell is gone but I'm curious to whether it has killed the bacteria bc of the itching or if it may caused a yeast infection. I guess we shall see in the next couple days. I just can't wait to get back in bed with my man. There needs to be more research on this shit, it's a degrading thing to deal with :( | F | 21 | 5 days | 8/1/2015 | 5 | BV | I have had BV in the past a fair amount - having an IUD makes you more succeptable. The white discharge thick is a side effect of treatment but the wet toilet paper - that appears to me to be uterine lining shedding a bit. When I had my IUD placed, a pap, or having a membrane sweep done x2 when I was pregnant with my son I got the same type of "pieces of tissue" with a pink colour or looking like pink coffee grounds. With nydagel I have had pieces be slightly pink but mostly losing all the colour and white. It clears up shortly after stopping the gel. Ultimately topically way better than oral flagyl!!! I found that the flagyl cream doesn't give you the same side effects but I much prefer nydagel | F | 28 | 5 days | 7/25/2015 | 5 | BV | I experienced thick, white, clumpy discharge the entire time. My last dose was 5 days ago and still have the discharge with no other symtoms. | F | 34 | 5 days | 7/24/2015 | 3 | BV | Fourth day of taking gel. Was about to administer my last dose but when I undressed I see my underwater is covered in some thick purple/brown discharge. I've been feeling crampy today and my back has been hurting it seems since my second dose. Not sure if the back pain is related but this bizarre discharge makes me not want to take the last dose. That awful "something died inside me" smell which was the original problem is gone though so that is a plus.. | I don't like doing these applicators at all, but I remember nearly choking on how bad the pills were once before | F | 33 | 4 days 70G | 7/21/2015 | 3 | BV | Ive had BV twice in one month. I took the oral pills for the first time i was diagnosed w Bv and it worked well but two weeks later i have a small trace of BV left. I took my first dose last night and woke up with slight discomfort. I took the second dose this morning (im prescribed twice a day) and experienced intense burning after applying it. The burning has calmed down quite a but after 15mins. I still have odor today too, hopefully this clears up soon. This is becoming such a recurring problem for me, im starting to think my BF PH balance throws mine off because i get a smell after he ejaculates and it seems to be turning into BV. | Im glad to gave found this website it has made me feel better about this problem. Has it taken a couple days for the smell to go away for anyone else? | F | 29 | 5 days 2x | 6/26/2015 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Thick, white, clumpy vaginal discharge that can be scooped out. I am currently on my fifth day of my medication. The discharge is completely normal and from the bacteria being flushed out | F | 19 | 7 days | 6/11/2015 | 4 | BV | Some headaches,Stomach pains, and some spotting. | I seem to get Bv over and over again. So i decided to try the gel this time because i will never again take them flagyl pills. Worst experience Ever! So Day 1 and 2 everything was fine. Day 3 i noticed the white clumps after i took a shower but it wasnt alot. But the odor was Gone, which is good! Day 4 i noticed some bleeding which freaked me out, i read it was an UnCommon side effect, but it was not my period, my period has stopped due to my birth control, so i knew it was the gel. Later that day it turned to brown muscus. Day 5 just brown Speckles everytime i go to the Bathroom. I didnt really have the white clumpy discharge that everyone else here is saying, just brown Discharge. Im one day off, and still some brown speckles. Hopefully that goes away soon. Its Definitely better then taking the Pills. | F | 24 | 5 days | 5/30/2015 | 4 | bv | Thick white clumpy discharge, which I thought was yeast but after reading these post I see we pretty much have all the same side effects. Could someone tell me if this causes back pain with soreness? Right around the area where my bra strap is on the right side? I'm really scared and thinking it's a blood clot. I no longer have that foul fishy odor. I'm now just wondering about that back pain I've been having since then. Back pain started about 3 days after I was done with meds. | F | 49 | 5 days 0.75% | 5/4/2015 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | A small amount of nausea, mild headache, the expected stuff. What I did NOT expect or prepare for is this thick clumpy white discharge. I have never had it before in my life and I freaked the freak out. It started light and then got heavier.At first it was like when you wipe and some toilet paper sticks there, so it is white and has the Texture of Wet toilet paper. Then it started coming out thicker and clumpier like cottage cheese-ish .I finished the gel yesterday and had some white slimy clumps this morning. It's scary....it made me want to Puke. I have no odor, no itching or burning etc. Just this white junk that I hope will go away soon! | In all honesty they should list the white cottage cheese discharge as a MAJOR Side effect and that it is completely NORMAL. We should know what to expect so that we know it's the medicine working and not some horrific infection. It would be like someone giving you a laxative and saying "here, take this for 5 days" ...and then you having no idea that it is going to make you have to go pooo. Does anyone know when this discharge will end? I feel nasty, I feel like I have a tub of cottage cheese up there, and I feel uber yucky and embarrased, and no one even knows but me! | F | 26 | 5 days .75% | 5/4/2015 | 4 | bacterial vaginoses BV | white cottage cheese looking discharge in panties or when wiping as I used the gel | F | 21 | 5 days 75 MG | 4/20/2015 | 3 | BV | Caused bloody specks with white clumpy discharge | While using medication i started to notice bloody specks (that resembled tiny blood clots)along with white clumpy discharge in underwear or when wiping. Totally freaked me out!! the doctor said it is from the metrogel | F | 33 | 5 days 0.75% | 4/7/2015 | 4 | BV | I immediately felt better. I'd had a pap smear 6 weeks earlier, bleed afterwards and felt like it hadn't healed. Returned to Gyno who checked, irritation in area of pap scrap and swab test revealed BV. Started taking medication and immediately within a day felt better, no hot coal feeling at site of scrape. Then a slight itchy feeling on day 6, first day after I finished my treatment. Then day seven discovered thickest, white odorless discharge. Honestly it totally freaked me out. I searched the internet thinking it was a yeast issue caused by the antibiotic and read that it was a common side effect but if I had it I needed to CALL MY DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. That really freaked me out. It was midnight when I discovered it. Luckily I found this site and so I realize it seems to happen A LOT. The discharge is like yeast but UBER yeast, thickest, white stuff, dry in consistency and odorless. I will call my doctor tomorrow because I'm like that, but it seems it is just part of the | I agree that this should be listed as a common side effect and also if it is just something that happens lose the CALL DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY scary stuff. The discharge is scary enough. | F | 49 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/27/2015 | 4 | BV | Went to the doctor because I had a odor. Had a vaginal swab and positive for bv. I took it while on my period two days later thick chunky dry like white discharge with red specs and light bleeding. So gross and yes had to scoop it out with my finger.... ewww | Bad side effect thick discharge no sex .. but it works | F | 23 | 5 days 0.75 | 3/24/2015 | 4 | BV | Clumpy white cottage cheese like discharge occasional burning or itching the discharge was the worst part | I think the discharge is gross I use a hand held shower head and rinse it out. I was very nervous when I first saw it but I was reassured it's normal. I'm going to look in the health food store and see if they have anything to treat it in case it comes back | F | 23 | 3 days | 3/24/2015 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | On Day 2 of using Metrogel, I noticed the front of my shins were numb and tingly. Later that day, I had pins and needles sensations on bottom of left foot and my pinky and ring finger on my left hand got numb and tingly. I quit using Metrogel immediately, but 1 week later I still have the neuropathy. I'm really scared it won't get better. | My gynecologist's nurse had never heard of this side effect, even though it is a known problem with Metrogel. My gynecologist never asked if I had previously had any peripheral neuropathy problems, which I have (though never this severe). I wish he had never prescribed me this awful medication. | M | 54 | 2 days applicator 2X day | 3/15/2015 | 4 | BV | Thick chunky white toilet papery discharge | Experienced slight burning around day 2. Also the discharge around the same time. Good to know that it is normal however seeing a big ball of white matter fall out of my vagina is scary. | F | 23 | 5 days | 3/14/2015 | 2 | 2 days | bleeding started | this is my first time I have no any well comment | 23 | 2 days 30 | 2/28/2015 | 1 | I have bacteria vaginosis | Swollen lips of my vagina. Clumpy discharge. | It did cure my infection. | F | 54 | 4 months | 2/20/2015 |
