 5  Bacterial Vaginosis Cramps, Metallic Taste, Slight Headache, Fatigue The Dr prescribed me to take for 7 nights. I took for 5 nights. It appears to not be gone away completely because I didn't finish the remaining 2 days. I took a yeast pill after to prevent yeast infection. Not sure if I should start treatment over or just wait a few more days for relief. I don't what to go to the Dr again. F 43 5 days

 1  Bv - only discharge no itch. On day 1 I had white discharge with small brownish spots, this turned into light bleeding. I had just finish my period so not period blood. Lower stomach cramps but all still seemed well. On day 2 more bleeding with dizzyness, fatigue, sore throat, migraine with fog. Bloating was so sore I couldn't stand up for long and couldn't fit my clothes. Vagina and outside area was dry and tender to touch. When I was due to take the 3rd dose I was feeling so ill I couldn't continue so stopped. I told the doctor the next day who sent me for a swab test but he didn't believe my symptoms. Said it was a bit excessive. Once I stopped taking it all my symptoms clear up within 24hrs except a little spotting. The cramps and Vaginal tenderness I still have 4 days later. Waiting results to see if I now have thrush aswell. Will not use this medicine again. There must be a better way to deal with this. Never had it before. F 42 5 days

 2  Bv Clumpy discharge sometimes white sometimes bloody. Freaked me out because I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. I normally take the pill but opted for the gel this time because the pill taste horrible, but rather deal with that than this. I'm on day 4/5 and am so ready to be done with this prescription, the rest is going right in the garbage will not be using again. F 21 5 days

 3  BV/ Trichomoniasis Okay so I was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis I think I'm spelling that right not too sure, my doctor proscribed me Flagyl pills to take one every 12 hours they were absolutely HORRIBLE especially the metallic after taste GROSS. So I finish those, Trichomoniasis is still hanging out ._. (Green bubbly discharge in my cervix is what the doc described it as) I forgot to mention I had no idea I had this Sti NO SYMPTOMS whatsoever. Fast forward I'm now on metrogel tonight is my second night & after doing some RESEARCH I went ahead and bought some probiotics (Renew life 25billion culture good bacteria etc) & some prenatal multivitamins to help the metrogel KICK SOME BUTT! I heard nothing but great things about probiotics for women health. So far the only discharge I saw was slimy mucus like stuff when I wiped after earlier this afternoon. I'm expecting the white clumpy discharge you are all mentioning but for now I don't see anything. Keep in mind ladies only to go as far up your vagina as IT FEELS COMFORTABLE don't go any further because this can be the cause of your bleeding... anytime anything even touches your cervix causes bleeding....

 2  Bacterial Vaginosis After I would use a dose, I would get extreme cramping. It felt like bad period cramps. I tolerated this, but then on day 3, I woke up with bloody discharge. It looked like the beginning of a period. But I'm not supposed to start for another week. I was really concerned about this so I called my doctor. She advised me to STOP THE GEL. She said this medication is usually well tolerated and I should not be having these effects. So I was advised to stop at day 3 out of 5. Thank God. I would not use this gel again. F 24 5 days

 2  BV Cramping, clumpy discharge, bleeding I was told there would be white clumpy discharge but I was not told about the bleeding nor do I see it listed as a side effect anywhere on the box or insert. Bleeding has only gotten heavier as the days go by and is very dark almost like old blood. I was not bleeding prior to using it. Just had a baby and got BV while still healing. Only had some irritation and yellow discharge. Not sure why bleeding isn't listed as a side defect since so many women experience it. What exactly does the gel do? It's almost as though it's “clearing” out the bacteria by making your uterine wall shed. I don't think I would use this again. F 26 5 days

 3  BV The fishy smell went away 2 days after using Metrogel. After completing the 6 days I noticed the same clumpy, gross ass, toilet-paper-like discharge like everyone here. I had a checkup with my gynecologist and she looked at it and told me it's a yeast infection. BUT after reading all your comments I think she is wrong!!! I'm very angry that she doesn't know this common side effect and wanted to give me a very strong yeast infection medication (with side effects like "going deaf" - thanks). I didn't take the medication and the discharge went way on its own after 5 or 6 days. No idea why such a discharge occurs - uterus lining shedding? Bad bacteria that's being flushed out? Overall dryness? Mild yeast infection?I don't know. IMPORTANT: Antibiotics destroy not only the bad bacteria but also the good ones. So after the treatment with Metrogel I would recommend you do a treatment with lactic acid suppositories for about 6 days. If a BV is a recurring event for you I would a Take probiotics, treat with lactic acid suppositories after metrogel to build up the vagina's natural flora again! Otherwise you might relapse very soon. F 23 6 days

 3  BV This is my first time having BV and using this medication. I feel tired, headache, nauseous, lack of appetite, some slight cramping and mild eye pain. No discharge. Not sure if the eye pain is from the medication or because I work on the computer all day. Odor & itch are completely gone which is good but these side effects put me on my ass! I have 2 days left and I can not wait to be finished! F 32 5 days

 4  BV I've never had any clumpy white discharge. I do experience migraines and, oddly, this seems to trigger them. I also experience slight pelvic cramping. Most recently though I have a coffee ground like spotting mixed with the clear gel. By day 2 though the odor is gone. Though I could only ever smell it when I come in contact with semen. (And soap on external vulva.) I get recurring BV. My doctor does not know why, but he suspects my spouse throws off my pH. When I get it he prescibes me this. It works... temporarirly, the BV always seems to reurn within a month or two. Wish there was a CURE not a bandaid. I've tried probiotics, diet changes, etc. F 33 7 days
