 3  BV Wish I never used this. I got cramping almost immediately after use and woke up the next day with the white clumpy discharge. I used it twice before asking to switch. Woke up the second day too dizzy to get out of bed. I've used the pill before with no problems but am still experiencing the side effects of the gel and it's now 6 days after the last (2nd) dose. The white clumps only come out when I use the bathroom but I can't have sex because I'm too embarrassed for anyone to see. It's not gotten any better still and I only took the 2 doses! So upset. Do not recommend to anyone who has a sex lift and doesn't make want to feel nauseous and cramps. Stay away!!! Honestly don't feel this drug is safe after what I've experienced and reading other reviews. The pill might give a tummy ache but it does that job with little other side effect. Do yourself a favor and take the pill. F 29 2 days

 4  BV After the first day I already noticed the odor was gone, However it has still left me with a cottage cheese looking discharge and discharged has increased. I have read lots of post saying women say this is normal due to vagina pushing infection out through discharge. Overall I'm satisfied but ready to get this treatment over with! I'm tired of wiping and there being chunks of discharge ! F 21 5 days

 4  Bv Have clumpy white wet tissue type of discharge, but i also take a probiotic as well to restore the balance down there. Doing this has cleared my infection but i still have the clumpy discharge, no smell or itch. Doesn't work if taken by itself. Take with a probiotic to cure your bv and keep the recurrent down to zero. F 47 5 days

 4  Bv Clumpy white discharge alot of it Some abdominal cramping on day 4 I was reading all the coments and alot people are experiencing on and off bv and yeast infection That used to be my case on and off and it sucked, finally my doctor did a urianalysis as well as a swab because this last time ny yeast infection was just toooo much the test ended up taking 2 weeks so i used an over the counter drug which caused my BV now im saying all of this because in the urianalysis i was positive for ureaplasma it is a bacteria that causes bacterial vaginosis. This can go undiagnosed because alot of people do no have symtoms, my doctor decided to test me because i was coming back very frequently with either a yeast infection or bv so if thats something that happens to you, you might want to concider taking that exam F 22 5 days

 1  Bacterial vaginosis 1st night was ok. 2nd and 3rd nights caused bad cramping, bleeding, back ache. I am post menopausal. Wonder if that makes a difference. I've used it before menopause with no issues. I am also newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. I also have several GI issues. I won't use it ever again. F 53 3 days

 5  BV I don't know why there are so many negative comments. I have used this multiple times and I literally swear by it. It has my vagina smelling perfect after and it works so well. Yes there is clumpy discharge but that is just your vagina working it's magic and pushing out the infection the clumpiness will go away in a few days. I repeatedly get BV for the past few years they think it might be because it can get transmitted back and forth from your partner/ some people just have unbalanced pH levels which bacteria thrives in so it's not their fault nor can they do much about it. This stuff works like magic on it though. F 23 5 days

 2  BV I was Dx at 20-21 i think? Have had it since, terribly depressing. There appears to be no cure, just "maintenance". Im always embarrassed for intimacy with my man to be blunt lol but he is understanding we keep wipes everywhere. I do feel my confidence in my V-Queen is none at this point, makes me feel broken/insufficient. Clumpy discharge,Change from white-red will always happen. I always insert gel immediately after sex. Strangely, i will literally go into my period after 5 days use. I also have PCOS so its hard to know which is the cause. Cramping i get here and there. I hate it lol id love an actual cure. But its all i have to treat myself when i have an infection. Doctors dont appear to know what else to do. If anyone has had a cure-PLEASE SHARE! F 23 5 days

 4  BV I have had some abdominal cramping, back pain, and fatigue. I have had to use this medication several times, but it has always done what it was supposed to do. I noticed many posts referencing a white clumpy discharge. It is not uncommon to develop a yeast infection while using this medication. Perhaps a probiotic protocol during (and a while after) use would be beneficial. Unfortunately, this is rarely part of the discussion BEFORE people start using it, so it is very disturbing to witness a new symptom during treatment, not realizing the medication is creating yet another (different) problem. Good luck! F 59 5 days

 3  BV Currently on day 2, woke up in the middle of the night. With severe cramps, I thought I was bleeding but wasn't. It was cramping pain like I couldn't even pee, I can barely lay down. I might stop using. No discharge just the clear gel coming out throughout the day. F 22 7 days

 5  Bacterial Infection White, clumpy discharge but a little different than yeast infection. BV clumps are way bigger for me. I also had brown, flaky like discharge. Looked like dry blood and it's happened before. Not sure if this is normal or not since I do have an IUD. F 20 5 days

 4  Bv Just the clumpy white discharge... I was a bit worried.. started reading these reviews and still haven't got my answer into when does it end? I ended on a Sunday and is now Thursday, I'm worried because I am pregnant and my doctor prescribed me this.. it has yet to go away so I will give it a couple of more days and try cleaning her(kitty) out. And comeback and do another review. Extremely worried but feel nothing in pain or itching... I feel embarrassed when I'm with my husband but he still goes down knowing I'm going through this discharge lmao but I really need to fix this makes me feel so disgusted. F 21 5 days

 3  Yellow discharge UPDATE ON PREVIOUS REVIEW The awful thick yellow gel discharge lasted just over two weeks and would probably have lasted longer but on one occasion, there was so much that I scooped it out (I know I shouldn't have but was so uncomfortable!) The amount varied from day to day with some of the worst days nearer to the end of the two weeks. Just when I thought it was stopping, off it would go again. Been clear for two full days now so fingers crossed it is finished. On the plus side, it seems to have worked but I am definitely not a fan of this medication and would be very reluctant to try it again. Annoyed that the side effects seem so common but nothing mentioned on the medication leaflet about it. If it did, it would be far less scary and stressful for the patients using it. Thank goodness for this forum! Ended up with a UTI :( F 61 5 days

 3  Repeatedly experiencing BV Got BV first time a year ago can't seem to kick it tried pills and gel for it now on the 4 month gel program. Experiencing cottage cheese discharge all the time. I wasn't told not to have sex on it and hope I'm not just recirculating it that way. Also was told not to use it during my period. I need any suggestions on how to finally kick this it's horribly gross and frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated F 42 4 months
