| 4 | BV | Nausea, headache, a bit of a yeast infection | F | 25 | 5 days | 2/2/2009 | 1 | BV | I think the side effects are wores than the infection. Very little discomfort when diagnosed. Since finishing my 5 day prescription. White discharge, hives, itching all over, burning during urination, irritation during sex. It has been about 2 weeks since the medication. When do the side effects stop??? I am about to OD on benedryl. Hot baths do offer so comfort. | F | 31 | 5 days | 1/31/2009 | 4 | BV | I took my last dose on Monday and I was also getting worried about the white discharge until I saw this site. The only side effect I've experienced is itching all over. I was even more worried today because I started my cycle and I am still have this awful discharge. Just hope it clears up pretty soon. | F | 26 | 5 days | 1/28/2009 | 3 | BV | Yeserday I completed my 5-day stint on Metrogel; so I'm not 100% if it's working yet. I haven't experienced any odd discharge, only the gel making it's way back out when I wake up in the morning. Although, I've been experiencng extreme inflammation, burnng and itching. I do recall having 2 moderate headaches in the past 5 days, but I wasn't sure if they were associated with the medication. Maybe they were, since I usually never get headaches. | My doctor didn't mention many of the side effects you all are experiencing, but when I told him that I noticed that I get this inflamed, burning sensation about a week before each cycle he recommended that I change birth conrol pills. Some pills can cause a spike in the acidity/bacteria in the vagina that causes BV. So I'm switching to another one-hopefully that'll help! | F | 25 | 5 days | 1/20/2009 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis/BV | I just finished my fifth (last) prescribed dose of metrogel last night and this morning/afternoon I was shocked at the white, cottage-cheese like discharge. I was worried that I had developed a yeast infection from the antibiotics (and am still slightly concerned). Other than the thick, clumpy 'wet tissue paper' discharge I have had no side-effects but I was shocked at the discharge. This site makes me less anxious. | No problems but I wish that if this discharge IS a natural side effect that the manufacturers or my doctor had mentioned the possibility of it occurring. I was caught off guard (and it's still making me squeamish). BV symptoms (smell) cleared up about three days into using metrogel. | F | 26 | 5 days | 1/17/2009 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | The drug gave me a severe yeast infection as well as creating long term sensitivity in my vulvar area, causing what my doctor described as "provoked vulvar vestibulitis". I live in persistent pain that gets worse after intercourse. Three years, and lots of physical therapy and I still cannot have sex regulary. | The side effects should be better communicated, they are more severe than what most doctors assume. | F | 3 days | 1/12/2009 | 3 | BV | menstrual like cramping and pinkish discharge only after running. A lot of clumpy discharge. The discharge has increased since I have stopped taking metrogel. I finished my last dose on Sunday PM. Took Diflucan on Monday...Today is Wednesday and I have seen more discharge than ever...I am hoping this is the end. I was concerned about it until I came across this site. | I also experience vagianal dryness and stomach aches. It wasn't too bad. The most annoying thing is the discharge because I am not sure when it will be gone. I've been avoiding the bf. I do think that information about the discharge should be explained up front...I have had my share of BV and yeast infections and I have never had as much discharge as what I am seeing now. | F | 37 | 5 days | 1/7/2009 | 2 | BV | NAUSEA! I can barely eat anything! CRAMPING! BLOATING! CLUMPY DISCHARGE! Dizziness! But still better than the pills. | Probably will request the cream rather the gel next time! | F | 27 | 5 days | 1/6/2009 | 1 | bacterial vaginal infection | The first day or two headaches, then small white clumps coming out of the vagina. By day 5 had a lot of nausea and big white clumps. Stopped taking after 5 days, but clumps are still coming out and severe burning and irritation which makes me feel like I have to urinate all the time, but my urine is clean - was tested and no infection or white blood cells. The irritation is what is causing it. The doctor removed some of the clumps. Said this is common with metrogel and the medication does that. Plus I have a sensitivity which caused the redness and irritation. | I would not use it again. | F | 54 | 5 days | 12/31/2008 | 3 | BV | Mild nausea initially and then the white discharge everyone here has mentioned. | This is my very first BV and use of Metrogel. I was diagnosed with BV after having two bouts of bleeding after sex with my husband. My cervix was so inflammed that the swab to take a culture caused me to bleed. Anyway, I have taken 4 of the 5 nightly treatments. I have not had any cramps to speak of or other side effects...just the extremely gross stringy/bloody/clumpy discharge with specks of brown. I had the Mirena IUD placed in March of this year but my GYN said it was not the source of infection - - so, is my husband of 8+ years infected?? Does he need to get checked? When can I have sex again without worries of discharge, odors, etc. The odor is gone (just a sweaty smell now with the pad)....can anyone tell me when this will be over??? | F | 33 | 4 days | 12/22/2008 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | well I am on my second day,and had the white discharge...that was fine because I assumed it was the gel and infection coming out.The thing that scared me,was seeing bloody clumps come out as well. I searched the paperwork,and the internet for this side effect and couldn't find it anywhere.I'm so glad I stumbled across this site,it was a relief to see that this seems to be normal. Also it seems to be clearing it up,and I haven't had any other negative side effects. | F | 32 | 2 days | 12/20/2008 | 1 | yes | none | F | 18 | 5 days | 12/18/2008 | 5 | BV | Honestly...I'm not sure Metro-Gel could have caused anything worse than the smell I'm using it to eliminate. I'm a SEVERELY clean girl (like, bordering OCD, lol) and this whole experience was too much for me. I only had symptoms of BV for 24 hours before running to the doctor for testing...panicky much ? That being said, aside from a little stinging/general sense of ickiness immediately after inserting the medicine, VERY slight headache, and VERY slight nausea that went away quickly after eating graham crackers/toast...I have had no problem with the medication. I am on the 4th day now of a once a day insertion schedule...and the smell was completely gone within 12 hours of the first dose. I was incredibly scared to take Metro-Gel after originally reading this website (though I'm thoroughly glad it exists...It would have saved me from incredible panic if I had experienced any of the aforementioned side effects) but I have had nothing but a positive experience while using it. Side | Don't be scared ladies...just use the stuff. Trust me, you'll feel much better. I was freaked too...but it's really a great medication. I'd take it again if I had to. | F | 25 | 5 days | 12/11/2008 | 5 | BV | Occasional stomach pain, mostly in the evening | I took some acidophilus tablets while on the metrogel and didn't have any signs of a yeast infection. No thick white discharge, just the clear medicine leaking back out. As far as I can tell the infection's gone. I didn't have the fishy smell with the BV, just the leaky discharge. But haven't had that since finishing the metrogel. I haven't tried having intercourse yet so I'm hoping it doesn't come back after that. But I'm going to keep taking the acidophilus. | F | 23 | 5 days | 12/5/2008 | 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! | F | 25 | | 11/26/2008 | 5 | BV | Lord I'm glad I found this site!! I am the worrier of all worriers! The metrogel is a great product and it cleared up my symptoms like the first day. I did it twice a day for 3 days instead of once a day for 5 days. Afraid my period was on its way. Soo anyway...like the second or third day I wnt to examine myslf with my finger to find some white/greyish red like discharge!!!!!!!!! I almst lost it!!!! Its like clumpy and stringy a bit too!!! Looks like its mixed with a lil blood.. How gross is tht...All my symptoms have gone away tho! Its been 2 days since my last dose and I still see the discharge. I want to have sex but too embarrassed too!! Whn will this discharge go away?? O yes also been feeling nausea for the past 2 days...I'm soooo happy to have found this site other wise I would have lst it. I feel mch better! | I wish I was told I was gonna be getting that disgusting discharge!!! I usually take Cleocin which works fabulous! But since I have no insurance the Metro-gel was cheaper. | F | 25 | 3 days | 11/25/2008 | 3 | bv | bleeding, cramping, headache, tiredness, anxiety, fuzzy head and bouts of intense and irrational behavior | fortunately, no white discharge but I did have bleeding - totally freaked me out because I've had a hysterectomy, so that didn't seem right. pretty equal measure of physical and emotional side effects. it does seem to clear up the bv though and I guess I'd use it again if I needed to. wish I'd read this during treatment. | F | 55 | 5 days | 11/25/2008 | 4 | Bv | Well I had a recurring bv and finally was given metrogel. I didn't have any problems but after I stopped on the 5th day I had sex on the 6th and it all came out. I panicked because I started bleeding after sex and irt lasted for 24hr. I called the doc she said I was just irritated and to wait to have sex again. I want to know how long should I wait? | F | 26 | 5 days | 11/18/2008 | 4 | BV | Some nausea, a little crampy, and definitely experience the gross "clumpies." I'm five months pregnant so getting this infection cleared up is really important, and it seems to be taking care of the infection but the discharge is really gross. | Clumpy, cottage cheese-like d/c at first, now on day four it's almost rubbery in texture and is a light brown. Nasty. | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/10/2008 | 3 | BV | I'm currently taking it, it's been 4 days and it has been painful. I wake up every night with a full bladder and then get a burning sensation and lots of cramps. Also, I've had a sticky discharge and after cleansing myself I have like a cottage cheese type of discharge. | F | 26 | 4 days | 11/7/2008 |
