| 5 | BV | The company really needs to add on it's insert that this med causes the clumpy whte discharge...it freaked me out!!!! | F | 32 | 10 days | 10/24/2005 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginitats | I felt sick to my stomach and had that crappy white cottage cheese discharge. | I had to go through it twice and i still am not able to have sex. I have the same symptoms before i started it and before the vaginitis was discovered. yet my gyno syas i have no infection and that im perfectly fine. I hope the burning stops soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 17 | 2 days | 10/11/2005 | 5 | BV | Yeast Infection | I'm prone to BV so I consider myself a professional Metro-Gel user. I've been familiar with this drug for over 5 years, it's second nature to pick up a box of Monistat when I pick up the Metro-Gel with the expectation that as soon as I complete the pink box, I'll hit the blue. It's really no big deal, it's kind of like rebooting your vaginal area...once you're done everything is completely back to normal!! | F | 30 | 15 times | 10/9/2005 | 2 | Bacterial Infection | I too experienced the clumpy, white, rubbery discharge. | I too am thankful to find this site, I have been trying to find out what this gross discharge was coming from. I figure that it is the gel mixing with the current discharge. This is my last night using the metro gel and i am now fearful that there are many side effects to come, after reading all the other comments. I have had this type of infection before, but i have always treated it with the metrogel's counterpart, flagyl, it works very well except it leaves a weird metallic taste in your mouth, which leaves in about 30 mins. In comparison to the gel the pills are a better option. Having a heavy cycle, weird discharge, vaginal dryness, and pain are not worth it! | F | 24 | 5 days | 10/6/2005 | 4 | bv | White discharge very much like wet toliet paper. | I was so scared my doctor also didn't mention this possible side effect thank goodness for this site. | F | 26 | 5 days | 10/2/2005 | 1 | BV during pregnancy | Cramping for a whole day, which caused a lot of anxiety, as I'm 5 months pregnant- my ob/gyn decided to take me off the medication after one dose as a result. She found cottage cheese-like discharge already after one day- she thought it was candida, which I did not have the day before when she examined me. I also have developed very dry and tingly lips and cracks in the corner of my mouth. | It's poison in my opinion. I would never take this again. I'm just grateful my baby appears to be OK. | F | 42 | 1 days | 9/21/2005 | 1 | BV during pregnancy | Cramping for a whole day, which caused a lot of anxiety, as I'm 5 months pregnant- my ob/gyn decided to take me off the medication after one dose as a result. She found cottage cheese-like discharge already after one day- she thought it was candida, which I did not have the day before when she examined me. I also have developed very dry and tingly lips and cracks in the corner of my mouth. | In my opinion it's poison. I would never take this drug again. I'm just grateful my baby appears to be OK. | F | 42 | 1 days | 9/21/2005 | 5 | BV | White, rubbery - clumps inside of vagina. Not really a discharge. I examined my vagina to see if the other discharge I had before taking Metrogel was gone: it was - but very surprized to find the new white clumps inside my vagina. | Metrogel vaginal medication MUST include this side effect in their literature when this product is dispensed. It was was distressing - wondering what NOW could be the problem in my vagina. Other than that, I was greatful to be rid of the bloating, acheing ovaries, and frequency to urinate associated with BV. | F | 47 | 5 days | 9/18/2005 | 4 | BV | Like everyone has already said i was vewry glad to stumble upon this sight to find out that the discharge is normal..but i want to have sex again, hah! And for all of you that have re-occuring BV..my doctor said to use a condom for a month after you stop taking the medication so your bacteria can return to normal...i dont know if anyone knew that, but it might help! | F | 20 | 5 days | 9/16/2005 | 4 | BV | this medication worked great it got rid of the smell the first day. i contiued use for about a week and a couple days and then got my period and everythign was fine. as soon as i got back to school, about 3 weeks later, i felt some symptoms agian so i decided to start using it until it was gone and now i am experiencin a very think, very white cottage-cheese, wet toliet paper substance excreting from my vagina, i thought i had a bad yeast infection but there was albsolutley no smell and only a little burning but no itching. i had no clue that these were some symptoms but it didnt happen until i started to use it again. | i think i am going to use a natural way to correct my bacteria. | F | 19 | 10 weeks | 9/16/2005 | 4 | BV and Cervicitis | Today makes it my second day i have inserted the cream. As usual i was looking at myself in the mirror and realised that i had this thick white clumpy discharge by the emtrance of my vagina. So i inserted a clean finger and when i pulled it out, the clumpy white stuff was all over my finger. As usual i freaked out AGAIN. But then i read all these other people that experienced the same thing. So i am waiting to finish the rest of my gel. By the way, the doctor told me that i got cervicits due to the BV. What happened was that my body was OVER secreting a milky white discharge and i found it unusual, so i went to the doctor and he said that the gland that surround my cervix is over producing mucous as a defence mechanism. that's how i started the metrogel. Anyway guys, i hope this helps anybody with additional info. I will update my symptoms when i am finished my gel. Another point, the flagyl did NOT work the first time and i am NOW on the metrogel. So flagyl doesn't necessarily work al | So far it's working | F | 24 | 2 days | 9/16/2005 | 4 | BV | First laet me state how and why I'm taking metrogel. I went to my doctor because of abnormal vaginal bleeding. So she did the pap and I'm having a vaigianl ultra sound. In the meantime she said there was bacteria in my vagina, she perscribed metrogel for 7 days. I'm on my sixth day. I'm experincing rasberry colored cottage cheeze like discharge. It is gross. The blood color in the discharge is very differnt color from the blood I was having before the metrogel. | I didn't know a yeast infection was a side effect. Oh NO! I was told not to drink ( haven't) Has anyone gotten sick from metrogel and drinking? | F | 30 | 6 days | 9/16/2005 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Some clumpy discharge, which was white at first, but with the onset of my period produced some of the strangest discharge Ive ever seen. :)It was red and brown, and clumpy like before. But it really didnt last long. My period though, has been much heavier than usual, and it could be from the Metrogel. | I didn't really have any symptoms from my BV. I wouldn't have known if I hadnt gone in for a random exam. So Im assuming the stuff worked. | F | 21 | 5 days | 9/15/2005 | 1 | bv | chunky pink discharge like others describe, cramping, sensitivity. | I"ve also had bv about 4-5 times. I did some study on pH levels- when the vagina is acidic ( as opposed to alkalytic) it harbors bad bacteria and the good ones die out. I also take acidophilus, and there is a tea tree oil remedy that works well. I got this one from a colleague of my NP: Create a tea tree oil mixture with tea tree oil and a buffer oil (I use olive oil). The tea tree oil must be therapeutic grade, and it is a good idea to do a patch test before putting the mixture in you. Make up some mixture and swab it on your inner arm around your elbow and cover it up. Wait 24 hours to see if you develop a reaction. If not, put drops of tea tree oil on a plate with 1-2 tsp. other oil and soak it up with a tampon and insert before bed. Do it for a week and it will clear up the bv w/o all those crazy and horrifying side effects. Im sure you can find info about this remedy online. Thank God I found this site!! | F | 23 | 10 days | 9/15/2005 | 3 | I finished taking my medicine one day ago and since have had the dry, clumpy discharge everyone else is describing. My vulva feels irritated. I have a slight burning feeling too. I can't tell if this has cleared up the infection since the only symptom I had before was an burning vulvar sensation. | The patient information definitely should mention the discharge, vaginal dryness, and the vulva irritation. | F | 37 | 5 days | 9/12/2005 | 3 | BV | It didn't seem to cure the BV because I still had tons of greenish discharge even days after I finished the dose. So I started back up again and am now getting that white, tissue-like discharge you all have described. I feel so gross. I'm glad it's not a yeast infection. My husband's about to divorce me as it is! | Didn't work when I took it once a day for five days. Had to start up again. | F | 31 | 5 days | 8/27/2005 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | I believe this medicine caused my period to come two days late. Then when it did come it was like I was having a miscarriage. There was an excessive amount of tissue-like greyish white substance that scared me so bad I went to the emergency room. It was like my insides were falling out. Now I am currently bleeding so heavily that my normal daily activities are limited. At the emergency room I tested negative for pregancy so they told me this is normal. I know my body and I have never seen anything like this ever. | F | 21 | 4 days | 8/27/2005 | 2 | bacterial vaginosis | I'm taking this now and experiencing the white clumpy discharge... it is mostly inside my vagina but if I wipe it comes out, very thick and stringy with occasional brown, red, or pink clumps. It's gross. | M | 20 | 5 days | 8/12/2005 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I went from experiencing severe pain in my right hip and right side(felt like my ovaries were going to burst)loose stools,gas,heart palpitations,to staying up peeing all night 8-10 times (extreme pressure to pee-felt like cystitis)to waking up feeling very weak,headache,chills turning to hot sweats,and after eating later in the day, becoming EXTREMELY fatiged,(haven't felt so exsausted since having mono)low grade fever(100.6)alternating chills,stomach cramps, just feeling like CRAP! Ibuprofin couldn't even take away joint pain.I have taken this med prior to this time,and never experienced such horrible effects! I didn't however experience any discharge as other users did. I made sure I did not drink or wear anything containing alcohol.Soap however really made me itch.I took med for 2 days and was going to | Would not even give this to a rat! | F | 42 | 2 days | 8/12/2005 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | None except for a terrible yeast infection. | Ive had a yeast infection once before and this one was 10X worse than my first. Other than that, no complaints. Yeast infections are stated in the list of side effects, so it wasnt as if I wasnt warned. | F | 27 | 7 days | 7/25/2005 |
