| 3 | BV | White mucous-like discharge | I really wish I would have seen this website earlier...I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and after getting a thick, white, mucous like discharge on the second and third days, I called my OB thinking that I was losing my mucous plug! I'm still waiting to hear back from them but atleast now I know it is a normal side effect. The pamphlet in the box only said "discharge" and definitely needs to be more specific. It seems like this has been prescribed a lot during pregnancy, but after reading some of these posts I am a bit nervous that it will hurt my baby. | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 6/13/2011 | 5 | BV | eh. some vaginal sensitivity and itching but VERY mild nothing like a yeast infection and the white clumpiness and brownish stuff [ is suspect cause I just finished my period] | the first day I took it twice morning-night [even though i was prescribed once before bed]- i was anxious to get rid of that fishy odor. the smell is gone and the white clumpiness didnt come till day 3. I had sex with my bf day 2 with a condom and there was no adverse side effects for that | F | 20 | 3 days .75 1X day | 6/11/2011 | 4 | BV | some discharge, especially in the morning | Just to add another positive review, I had very minor side effects with metrogel, and that includes having a couple of glasses of wine the last couple of days of taking the medication. I was expecting far worse after reading the reviews here, but I hardly noticed any change from normal. | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 6/6/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Imbalance | UTI, Yeast Infection, break-through bleeding, bloody discharge | I have had the great privilege of having this bacterial sensitivity my whole life. Condoms, “fun” gels, a partners fluid and even most soaps will start a bacterial imbalance which will lead to the usage of this gel. Never have I worried about the semi-clear discharge~infection does need to disappear somewhere. I am on a birth control pill and do experience break-through bleeding when using it. I also have old dark blood discharging and the spongy bloody discharge. I usually have to use this on for 5 days off for 5 and repeat 2 more times. Every usage brings a yeast infection and a UTI. Feels like I’m in a constant circle. I will have to try some of the natural remedies mentioned here. | F | 33 | 5 days 1X day | 6/1/2011 | 4 | BV | Some Nausea (but I'm also pregnant so that kinda comes and goes anyway) White clumpy discharge. | I'm 30 weeks preggers so I was kinda scared when the white chunks were coming out. I was also trying to remember if it happened the first time I used it 3 years ago and I think it did. Icky smell pretty much cleared up on first day but will continue dosing per doc recommendations. Just hoping I don't get a yeast infection like some other ladies mentioned, I've never had one and it would suck. | F | 24 | 7 days 0.75% 1X day | 5/29/2011 | 1 | BV | Dizziness, constipation, bloating, vivid dreams, sleeplessness,headaches, clumpy white discharge, dark bloody discharge, pelvic pain | I thought Flagyl was bad but this was horrible for me. I think some ppl may have a alergic reaction and im one of them. I will stick to home remedys that have no side effects next time. This even gave me a yeast infection to top it all off. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 5/27/2011 | 3 | BV | None, yet...just a little gel coming out after restroom use. | Oh dear. I am only on day one but after reading some of the comments I am a bit worried. After dealing with undiagnosed BV (embarrassing as hell) for three months, I really welcome any "flushing" discharge, but I am scared to have any of the other symptoms described. Last night after my first insertion I felt as though my ears were going to pop and my tongue was swelling, but the sensation went away and I thought maybe it was my anxiety. I am a little bummed that I can't have sex for a while and can't drink my daily Stella. Why does the alcohol affect it? How does the alcohol mix? Is it because the gel is absorbed? That's weird to me, but I will get over it. I supposed the sex can wait too...I NEVER had BV until I started letting my fiance ejaculate inside me - not to be gross, but hey. So far I don't mind the gel, just hope it works! | F | 27 | 5 days 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 4 | Thick white clumpy discharge. | I've been prescribed ths medication several times for recurrent BV. I had the thick white discharge, too. I used it at bedtime nightly and in the morning bathed, doing my best to rinse the clumps out. I know it sounds gross but it's the only way I could deal with it!! It cured the infection and I've used it for a couple days when I noticed symptoms coming back but only half an applicator full. It works!! | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 5/14/2011 | 2 | BV | Stomach cramps, Back cramps, Clumpy white & pink discharge, mild nausea, low grade temp | Had what I thought was a mild case of BV. After 3 days of metrogel, it is 10 x worse! Of course, I can't call the MD cause it is the weekend. Allergic to clindamycin so can't take that. Flagyl in pill form makes me puke. So, not sure what else I can do at this point. | F | 40 | 5 days 7.5 1X day | 5/8/2011 | 3 | BV | clear discharge with blood tissue and tiny specs of coagulated blood on day 6 and morning of day 7(1 day after finishing the medication)--will see if it continues | also experienced some lower back pain (days 2,3,4), stomach ache on days (4 and 5)and mild cramping throughout I don't like to take medication as it is and had no symptoms of bv, my doc just found it with an annual exam. Would like to know what causes the bleeding, even if it is only a small amount | F | 27 | 5 days 5 grams 1X day | 5/7/2011 | 4 | bv | white clumpy discharge | i have a question can one of you girls please help me. I finished using metrogel last saturday (4/23/11) and i have experienced some brown discharge today (4/28/11) is it normal that im experiencing the brown discharge now even though im done with the prescribed doses? Ive also been getting cramps | F | 19 | 5 days 1X day | 4/29/2011 | 3 | reaccuring bv | I freakd. Day one normal day 2 wiped myself saw gel clear discharge off white and string of blood Before taken metro i hardly discharge no smell no itch everything of okay so far just wish i hardly a heads up on the chucky gelly discharge | Not finished yet. I've taken pillz over and over o i hope this works | F | 23 | 7 days .07569 1X day | 4/7/2011 | 4 | BV | The second day I used it I experienced the white clumps. I am currently pregnant and I have completed the 5 days I now continue to have a reddish brown discharge that is similar to a period. I am worried and my OB does not have the answer. Has anyone else experienced this while taking during pregnancy? | It wrks but I am afraid! | F | 37 | 5 days 5g 1X day | 4/6/2011 | 3 | OMG!!!! Im sooooooooooooo glad I found this site, because I thought something was wrong with my body. Now I think I have an yeast infection after using this. Dose anyone know what to take cause I have a white thick like paste discharge with itching on my lips of my vajayjay :-). I will not take this Metrogel again NEVER!!!!!! | F | 30 | 7 days 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Infection - Gardnerella | Clumpy cottage-cheese looking discharge that was slightly on the pink side, as well as the not-so-clear discharge which I assume would be the get. Not burning sensations, more of like a mini tingle at random times. | So far it's working. First day of use, smell was gone, which is amazing. Panicked when I saw the clumps of god knows what on toilet paper after wiping .. Called doctor and she told me it's completely normal. No itching or burning, but then again I'm taking it again before I go to bed tonight making it Day 3. No real complaints, but it would have been nice to know that I was going to have globs of nastiness coming out of my vagina, so I didn't have to call the doctor screaming. Only rated it a 4 because I haven't finished the medication yet. Will post when finished! | F | 20 | 2 days 1X day | 4/1/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Thick, yellowish clumpy paste-like discharge. | I just wanted to know if the strange discharge was normal. Seems to be. | F | 31 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 4 | bv | white clumps inside the vagina folds, looks somewhat like balled up toilet paper, or yeast like. | i've used the cream and i think this gel works much bettter, less irritation, im glad i found this time! i check all my medicines under here! i am highly allergic to yeast infection creams, no symptoms yet for this drug..on day3! | F | 27 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 4 | bv | discharge. | Remember not to drink alcohol while your on this medication.
