 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  BV Severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, soooo tired, just feel out of it, icky white clumpy discharge & some cramping. The medicine is working, but I can't wait to be done with it. I feel terrible! Just want to stay in bed! Most of the side effects seem to come & go in waves. And as a side note - DO NOT drink alcohol while using this medicine! I didn't take the "no alcohol" seriously since all meds seem to say that & wow what a mistake! It made me sooo sick! Instantly drunk & severe vomitting! F 33 5 days

 4  BV I got the white, chunky, gel-like discharge after the 1st day of use and continuing through all days of use. No other side effects. It seems that almost everyone got the white, chunky, gel-like discharge, but no one has said how long it lasts. I got the discharge after the 1st dose and it continued through all 5 doses. It was annoying, but bearable. It slowed 2 days after stopping doses and I had sex on the 4th day after stopping doses and there was no trace of it anymore. I'm sure a lot of women do get yeast from this, but I believe that this discharge is just the left over gel coming out. I am perfectly fine now and would use this medication again. F 28 5 days

 3  BV It made me extremely tired for the entire duration. However the scent cleared up after the first day. After the fourth day, small bits of white gelly like material came out. Two days after I stopped using it (duration of five days) I got a terrible yeast infection. Had to use monistat 7 to treat that. It gets rid of the bv wonderfully, but that yeast is awful. F 27 5 days

 3  BV I saw that everyone had the clumpy disscharge that I also had. I talk to my dr and I said "was it supposed to make me itchy?" the first the she asked was "did you have white clumpy disscharge" i replied "yes" and she so ohh if you had that clumpy disscharge then you didnt have BV you actually had a yeast infection. so all of you guys were prob prescribed the wrong treatment. it made me itchy and I had white clumpy discharge.

 1  BV BURNING, SWELLING, WATERY DISCHARGE(AFTER THE CLUMPY AND STOPPED TREATMENT), PAIN WITH URINATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, OUT OF IT, FEVER, CHILLS, TIRED. I have taken both the pill and the gel before and not too bad of issues. This is the only time I went to the docs with Minor smell and even the PH strip showed normal. The doc took it to the microscope came back said she saw BV. Im thinking the BV wasnt that serious to be on such a strong antibiotic. I have follow up tomorrow. I stopped meds after 4th day I am on 4 day without it and STILL burning with urination(not UTI) No yeast(took meds) swollen and HELLA WATERY DISCHARGE. Its scary. I wont do this again. They need to create something else that works. This stuff sucks F 28 5 days

 4  BV i experienced the white discharge (ricotta-like was my favorite description) a little on the first day, and a pretty significant amount on the second day. don't really have an appetite but besides that doing pretty well so far! I've read a lot of the comments here and I think the main thing women need to remember is that medications affect different people differently. it may work amazing for me and make you feel absolutely horrible. So far (tonight is my third night), my symptoms have cleared and the small amount of side effects (the discharge and loss of appetite) are messy, but not dire in my opinion and definitely not "OMG ITS SOO GROSS, KILL ME NOW" status- wear a pad and get over it. I thought the young girls are supposed to be the dramatic ones! I would recommend this medication if you really want to get rid of the BV. Ive tried the pills as well and they have much worse side-effects. I would say deal with the mess and do what works- this works for me. Good luck to everyone and feel better!!! F 20 5 days

 4  BV Looked like some of the gel mixed with the white discharge I had prior to taking the med I was in the shower and I was washing down there and I reached in and pulled out what looked like the gel mixed with white clumpy dischage. I am on day 4... So I was kinda freaked out. Im on Nuva Ring so I thought that had something to do with it but turns out it doesnt. I pulled my Nuva Ring out, cleaned it off with water and reinserted it.... How long after the dosages are over will this gelly discharge lasst? F 20 5 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis None really, just a little bit of the white clumpy discharge. I was afraid of having stomach upset as so many reported on here because I have a queasy stomach, but none at all. This medicine was wonderful. The odor was significantly reduced after one dose and completely gone after only two doses. Most people who get BV will have a recurrence at some point, and I am so glad to know this medicine is out there! F 38 5 days
