| 4 | BV | grainy, rubbery discharge. | i'm glad i found similar experiences, otherwise, i would've thought something more severe was happening. i used metrogel for 5 days straight to treat BV. by the third day, i started finding a brown & white grainy discharge in my underwear. i'm quite sure it's the same discharge others were experiencing except mixed with blood, as mine had an iron odor. i actually wasn't sure where the discharge was coming from, but on a hunch, i decided to clean myself out with water, and (to my dismay) globs of the discharge combined with a "wet tissue" like substance came out of me. i'm guessing this is a new side-effect, as my doctor didn't (nor any online references) cite this side-effect. 6 days after treatment, and i'm still getting the occasional grainy discharge. overall, i find the metrogel effective in treating the original problem: BV. but the grainy discharge is quite embarrassing, and has since lasted almost a week and a half. i recommend this product, but don't plan on get | F | 27 | 5 days | 10/28/2008 | 3 | bv | stuff is coming out of my vagina. it is gross like cottage cheese ! should i take acidophilusus while i am on med or after i finish it ..??? | scared of the cottage cheesey stuff coming out of me. will it go away? | F | 27 | 5 days | 10/26/2008 | 4 | BV | Symptoms went away after first dose, but had white clumping like everyone else. It's freakish! | BTW ladies - I called my doctor today about the white clumping, fearing it was yeast. She said that this is not yeast - rather, it is the medicine coming back OUT, as it clumps together. The innards are not a smooth tube, and with the nooks & crannies of our parts, it clumps and expels. Hope this helps you all. | F | 30 | 5 days | 10/23/2008 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | i've only taken 2 doses so far yesterday morning. last night i took a bath and was going to do another when i got out, but when i stood up i saw a lot of dark red/brown clumps floating around in the bath tub. i looked down at my vagina and it was all over. i sat on the toilet and kept wiping and it was flaking off into the toilet. ew! i also had menstrual-like cramps and some bloating. i've done my second dose now. | i'm going to take acidophilus while i'm on it to try to avoid a yeast infection b/c that is the last thing i need. i can handle this, actually if it will clear up the bv for at least a few months!!! no more odor down there will rule. | F | 28 | 2 days | 10/22/2008 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | The only side effects were the cottage cheese like discharge. I noticed that the first day I took it. Also, Ffr some reason, my vagina turned white. I am guessing it was the discharge. It didn't smell but I still don't like it. I have been off Metrogel for about a week but the discharge is still there. I just started my period today and noticed a big clump of it came out with some light bleeding. | My gynecologist diagnosed me with BV and gave me a 5 day prescription of Metrogel. The first day I started using it I noticed a difference. The smell went away! I would use this medicine again. | F | 20 | 5 days | 10/18/2008 | 4 | BV | I had white curd looking discharge with blood after about 6 hours of my first treatment. I'm on day 4 and still have the same thick clear egg white mucus with white curds in it. I have cramps and sever pain in both ovaries and in my lower back. | The itching went away after one dose. I'm glad that I found this site because I have searched for the past 4 days to try and find the answer to this I thought I was going to have to go back tot he Dr. I will now wait a few more days after treatment is over and see if it clears up on it's own. | F | 27 | 5 days | 10/14/2008 | 4 | BV | These gross, chunky, wet toilet paper like clumps coming out. I was on the 5 day treatment for bv. I have googled and searched for about 45 minutes now trying to figure this out. I'm about 2 months pregnant and had myself convinced I was beginning to miscarry until I found this website. | I didn't read the paper that came with the med. I'm going to look now & see if this side effect is mentioned. Its scary! | F | 25 | 5 days | 10/7/2008 | 5 | Bacteria | none | Ive used the metrogel several times due to recurring bacteria which I get about twice a year...I LOVE IT! It gets rid of the odor IMMEDIATELY! The only drawback was the thick white stuff but I only saw that because I had sex (which I wasnt supposed to) but it didnt freak me out because I knew what it was. It never came out as a discharge during the day. And rest assured that after your treatment is over...so are all the symptoms of the bacteria! For the ones telling you not to take the gel...they apparently arent bothered by a smelly cooty! | F | 36 | 5 days | 9/30/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Yes, I got the white clumpy discharge, but I gotta tell you...it was so much better than the BV symptoms themselves. I was willing to deal with the clumpies just as long as that smell and that thin, constant smelly discharge went away. So to me, it was a good, temporary trade off. I'm dealing with BV again, and for some reason my doctor prescribed oral Metradonizole...and it has messed me up! They gave me Clindamycin instead, but I'm still dealing with the same side effects. I'm dizzy as hell, and it sucks! I would love to go back to the metrogel! | F | 30 | 5 days | 9/20/2008 | 5 | bv | I have used this medicine several times in the last few years and yes the white clumping is normal but goes away by the end of treatment. | I love this product. It has always healed my infections with no problems. My DR lets me drink when on it and I have never had any side affects or problems at all. | M | 39 | 5 days | 9/3/2008 | 1 | odor | I got sick as a dog! Day 3 I've been glued to the toilet! The "runs" is putting it mildly! I should have just kept the upleasant odor! Nobody said the side affects would be worse than what it was meant to cure! I could just cry! But I'm too busy on the can! That is where I am typing from RIGHT NOW! What will I tell my man? Metrogel don't take boyfriends & husbands into consideration!!!! Don't take it girl!!! THE DRYNESS IS HORRIBLE!FIND ANOTHER solution! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MEDICATION!!!! | F | 36 | 3 days | 8/31/2008 | 5 | BV | None | second time using, absolutely no side effects, symptoms gone after day 2. | F | 27 | 5 days | 8/24/2008 | 5 | BV | That same clumpy discharge. They dont tell you anywhere on the box or the web or the doctor's office the side effects. I had to find out when i was having sex after my BV had cleared up that i was leaking this clumpy pasty stuff. It was very embarassing, luckily my boyfriend was understanding. | F | 22 | 5 days | 8/22/2008 | 3 | BV | This board made me feel so much better. I had a couple of glasses of wine the day I started taking it and the first day I had the brown clumpies...thought I maybe had done a bad thing with the alcohol, or that I had something much worse than BV and the doctor had misdiagnosed me. I was on a business trip too - what was I supposed to do!?! Glad to hear this is at least sort of normal and I'm going to stick it out. I hope this is helpful to other girls who get the same scary symptoms. | M | 29 | 1 days | 7/31/2008 | 3 | Unspecifed Bacterial Infection | I too got the clumpy discharge. it was weird and at first thought it was a YI. It went away after use. No other side effects. Thankfully! | Metro-gel worked somewhat. It is 5 days later and i still have some symptoms. most are gone but i can feel them returning. I used it for 5 days, once a day. Am thinking that it might have done me good to use it for longer. I am still experiencing a white thick disharge but it is turning clearer than during use. Some burning has returned. itchy insideness. I have been dealing with it for almost 2 months! so, i feel everyones pain. I actually think i got the infection from using clinesse without actually having BV. | F | 27 | 5 days | 7/23/2008 | 3 | possible BV | Same clumpy discharge. Finished day 5 of 1 dose per day last night. Experiencing burning and slight inflammation. Hoping that will go away. Am very prone to yeast infections, and am planning to call doctor on Monday if this redness and burning doesn't go away. | Treated twice OTC for yeast infection. Went to dr., who said yeast not present and abnormal bacteria not present, but redness and inflammation present. she prescribed 3 200 MG diflucan pills for yeast infection, said to call back if still ill. Called back and was prescribed metrogel. | F | 34 | 5 days | 7/12/2008 | 4 | BV | the same toilet paper, curdy white discharge, which showed during intimacy and wasn't sure if I had a yeast infection on top of it. but since I had no itching, I thought I was loosing my mind. very embarassing situation. this side effect was never listed. I am so glad I found this site - how long does it take to go away and does anyone use anything else to remove the clumps? | F | 49 | 7 days | 6/28/2008 | 1 | BV | I am having the same "wet toilet paper" discharge that many others are experiencing. I had my last dose 5 nights ago and even four full days after I had stopped taking it, there were gigantic, rubbery, white chunks coming out of my vagina. In addition, I experienced vaginal itching, burning and dryness. I still haven't had sex and am concerned it will hurt. I am now on day five after stopping treatment and things still don't feel quite right down there, although I haven't seen any huge white clumps today and the burning, itching and dryness seem to be getting better. I sure hopes this means I am on my way to recovery! I am FURIOUS that neither my doctor, the pharmacist nor the information on the drug pamphlet said anything about this freaky, science fiction like discharge. I will not have sex with my boyfriend until I am 100% confident that the disgusting discharge is gone. How can so many women have this side effect, but nobody who prescribes the medication tells the | F | 37 | 5 days | 6/12/2008 | 4 | A diagnosis of BV found on a PAP | I didn't know I had BV. My doctor said it looked like I had a bacterial infection when she was doing the PAP smear. After using metrogel on the first night, I experienced nausea. Bad nausea. I experienced this about an hour or so after taking it. It lasted until I fell asleep (I was taking it at night). On the 3rd day I decided to take Bonine about a half hour before I used the metrogel. This eliminated the nausea. If anyone else experiences nausea, try taking Bonine first. Bonine makes you drowsy. However, since I was using the Metrogel at night, this wasn't a problem. Other than nausea, I had no other unpleasant side effects. | I experienced the white clumpy discharge also. My doctor prescribed metrogel and diflucan at the same time. I dont know if this discharge was a yeast infection or not. It didn't seem like one to me, but after I took the diflucan the clumpy discharge started to disapate. I took the diflucan the day after I stopped taking the metrogel. My doctor didn't say when I was supposed to take the diflucan, so I dont know if I was supposed to take it at the same time. | F | 29 | 4 days | 4/4/2008 | 5 | BV | the worst side effects was the white clumpy discharge. other than that i love it! this is my third day using the metrogel and i haven't experienced cramps burning or itching. it got rid of that fishy odor right away | it really works! | F | 19 | 5 days | 3/31/2008 |
