| 5 | BV | thank god for all of you people here.I've experienced the same problems thick gel-like white,brownish discharge after the first few days.I was soo scared and I'm really young so it was especially worrying but everything seems to be normal again so seems like it worked | F | 17 | 5 days 1X day | 3/26/2011 | 5 | BV | White thick discharge after completing last day and thin clear discharge during 5 days. | I figure the clear discharge is just the excess medicine coming back out. But Im not sure what the thick discharge is that Im getting now. My fifth day was friday and its not monday. I dont why I haveit, anyone have the same thing? | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 3/21/2011 | 3 | BV | Thank you everyone - after 5 days of AM and PM vaginal gel, I was convinced that chunks of my uterus were being expelled. Got period after one usage. Thought I was having an early miscarriage as the discharge had grey tissue matter in it, as well as soggy paper towel-like debris, and goop that looked like soaked and blended cashews! Something so disturbing plopped into the toilet bowl that I almost vomited! Now, one day after finishing, symptoms gone (to stay I hope) and discharge is nowhere to be found. | F | 35 | 5 days 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 5 | BV | I had no side effects....I was very scared to take this after I had read some of the reviews and side effects that other people had but I was fortunate and had none. | I did have a little bit of the reddish/brown stuff but that was about it and it wasn't that bad at all. Just wear a panty liner so you don't get the gel and some other that other stuff on you | F | 33 | 5 days 1X day | 3/18/2011 | 5 | bacterial infection | I originally thought I was coming down with a UTI. The dr. wasn't sure what was wrong, so he took 2 different cultures. Turns out I had a bacterial infection. I took the Metrogel for 5 days (at bedtime) and had no side effects...by the 3rd dose, the uncomfortable feeling was gone, so I was thrilled. However, now it's a few days after finishing my last dosage...and all of a sudden, I'm kinda itchy. I hope that I now don't have a yeast infection! | F | 51 | 5 days .75% 1X H | 3/18/2011 | 3 | BV as diagnosed by a Pap | Thank goodness I found this page. I also had excess discharge with very thick white chunks and thought the worst. The smell went away immediately and I experienced a little tingling on the first day. By day 5 a lot of burning sensation, similar to having a UTI. :/ Curious as to how long it will take to clear completely... | F | 27 | 5 days 7 days 1X day | 3/17/2011 | 1 | BV | Passed out, faint, dizzy, abdominal pain. | I was prescribed this since the oral version of Flagyl almost sent me to the ER due to its side effects. I was assured the gel form works differently and the side effects weren't as bad; however I was still hesitant about taking it. Turns out I had a right to be. I woke up the first morning after using it, walked into the bathroom, blacked out and collapsed on the floor. My bf said he wouldn't have believed me if he hadn't seen it. It took me 20 minutes of laying on the bathroom floor before I could even get to bed. After laying around I felt okay enough to work in the afternoon but was still dizzy and faint all day. This stuff is poison for me, in any form. If you're allergic to the oral Flagyl, beware you might be just as allergic to this. I've been prescribed Clindamycin now. We'll see how that goes. I'm tempted to just let the BV resolve itself since I have no symptoms (found out on a pap), but the doc says I can't because said pap was also abnormal. Ugh. | F | 28 | 5 days 1X day | 3/2/2011 | 4 | BV | itching and burning | i was first given the pills 500mg twice a day for 7 days,the first day; i noticed that the smell had vanished. then i suddenly got this really bad itching and burning so i called the doctor, she said that means the medication was working. the itching wouldn't go away, i went back to the doctors and i ended up having a yeast infection. they gave some other medicine and that same day i started getting the smell again. i waited it out,till i recently went back to the doctors and have BV again :// so i got the MetroGel this time. so far, i have no smell. lets see how this goes. | F | 19 | 5 days 1X day | 2/24/2011 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | Clumpy white discharge, burning, racing heart, blood sugar problems, headache, cramping | I was prescribed the pill first, and finished that course, but the PA added on a week of the gel. I had no problems with the pill, but the racing heart and massive blood sugar swings may kill me. And yet I can't bear going back to Planned Parenthood so soon! I never had the itching or bad smell. I just went in because I was having a lot of pelvic pain... I'm not happy and I don't ever want this to come back. | F | 36 | 7 days 1X day | 2/9/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | • Mild flushing/burning of the skin the first day • Vivid dreams first few days and inability to sleep the last couple days | This is my second time treating BV in the past few months. The first time I used the 500mg pill form - an absolute nightmare. I told my doctor so she gave me the gel. A LOT easier to use. I inserted the gel before bed. No crazy side effects like with the pill. I reported those on this site before. I did have the gel come out in the morning, kind of an off-white cloudy gel substance, not a big deal. I usually dont dream at night but found myself dreaming about talking frogs and weird stuff like that. The last couple days I did nothing but toss and turn all night and i work early in the morning so ive been tired. Other than that, it wasnt bad. I would use this again despite the flushed burning skin because it went away within 15 minutes. | F | 22 | 5 days 45mg 1X day | 2/2/2011 | 3 | bv | Day 1 noticed smell gone. Next day clear discharge, then tiny red clots in dis large, increasing in density, size and color almost magenta. I had been spotting for 2 mos after horrible trial of depo provera which is when bad smell after sex started occurring. I switched to the pill, vinegar douche 1x, DanActive probiotic yogurt, then started this gel after saw ob/gyn who tested my vaginal pH (high) then swab showed bacteria. Some cramping, constipation, moody, bloated, back pain. Hope bv is gone afterwards. I too feel discharge is part of change in ph and curing infection. | F | 41 | 2 days 1X day | 2/2/2011 | 4 | BV | Incredibly clumpy cottage cheese like discharge, minor bleeding 1 day after, brown spotting/cramping 2 days after with discharge, headaches and food tasted bland while taking it. | It made the odor vanish after 1 dose. Overall I am happy but with the results but the after effect does seem to linger about a week after finishing the doses. | F | 32 | 5 days 5 1X day | 1/28/2011 | 5 | BV | sleepiness, slight cramping, irritability? | got rid of the smell immediately as well as any strange sensations i felt down there. the morning following my second dosage i experienced the medicine coming out with what looked like white clumps in them. i didnt think this was a bad thing though, after all, the body isnt going to absorb all of that &i still felt no odor, pain or strangeness as it happened. reading the rest of the reviews also helped to rule that out as a side effect. all in all, im happy that i was prescribed this. its easy to manage and doesnt interfere with life too badly [although im not sure to attribute most side effects to the depo shot. i received it the same day i started metro gel so who knows?] | F | 20 | 3 days 1X day | 1/27/2011 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | vaginal itching can't really say it was yeast though. | long term use has caused cancer in mice and rats. it doesn't get rid of Bacterial Vaginosis.why hasn't anyone come up with something that will work? what does it take? it's not cheap $64.99 retail price. | F | 42 | 5 days .75% 70G 1X day | 1/8/2011 | 5 | BV | No side effects | Ladies, the stuff coming out of you is NOT a scary discharge. It's the MEDICATION! Where do you think all that gel goes?? Lol. The active ingredients are mixed in the gel & get absorbed into your body, but the gel has to come out! Don't worry! :) | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 3 | vaginal infection | white clumpy discharge, pain when it came time to insert the 3rd and 4th applications | I originally had a UTI and the antibiotic I was given for that gave me a vaginal infection. I experienced clear thin discharge with an odor and after an examination and looking at everything under a microscope, the doctor prescribed this. After the first couple of nights, it initially helped with the burning/itching and the clear discharge. However on the third night I had a really difficult time even inserting the applicator and I noticed a clumpy white goo. I had been to a general practitioner before and had my yearly exam coming up with my gyno the day after I had finished my treatment with this medicine, and after telling her everything and the examination, she said I had a yeast infection and prescribed diflucan. | F | 22 | 5 days 30 1X day | 1/3/2011 | 5 | BV | Small amount of cramping and nausea. No discharge whatsoever, none of the gel even came back out. | I never had symptoms of BV just showed up on a pap so i guess i cant really tell if it worked but im still not having any weird issues. | F | 22 | 5 days 30 MG 1X day | 1/2/2011 | 5 | Bv | Icky taste in my mouth, clumpy discharge. (glad I came across this site I was worried). Nauseous in the morning with very dry mouth. Very tired. Feel bloated. Body aches. | Tried to have a glass of wine but it tasted awful after using the gel. | F | 46 | 5 days 75 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 5 | F | 27 | 1X day | 12/28/2010 | 3 | Bacteria Vaginois | Some tingling while taking the meds and clump white discharge 1-2 days following the 5 day treatment | I am so so happy to find this site regarding BV. I have been suffering from BV for about 3 years now and unfortunately all the doc continues to tell me is that it is a pesky recurring infection. Thankfully it is not sexually transmitted but as most of us know aside from the fish odor, it can be very disruptive to your sex life. I have tried everything on the market, Flagyl, Tindamex, Vinegar and Water douche and lastly the Metro gel. I just finished my last dose of Metro last week and I'm now experiencing the white clumpy discharge, similarly to ricotta cheese. I'm so happy you ladies posted since I thought it was possibly a yeast infection which fortunately I do not get often but I had no itch which usually one of the signs. It seems like the white clumpy discharge is a side effect of the gel. Ugh! I'm hoping my problem is finally resolved but it seems to be the symptoms come back after my menstrual cycle. I hope we all can rid this BV once and for all! | F | 34 | 5 days 30 mg 1X day | 12/26/2010 |
