| 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 | 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 | 3 | BV | I had cramps and lots of burning and itching. What was the worst was the fact that I got this bv crap from taking antibiotics for something else. Well I had to go back to the dr for a upper respiratory thing and got more antibiotics and my bv came back. So I got back on metrogel and now have a yeast infection from the metrogel. So now I am taking a yeast treatment. I had the weird discharge but not as bad as some on this message board. | I think metrogel should list the discharge as a side effect on the instructions because it is very scary. Also if you take on your cycle it makes your period weird almost like sand. I hope I don't have a bv again. I am going in next week for a rechek to make sure its cleared up. | M | 30 | 5 days | 8/1/2006 | 3 | BV | I am a pharmacist and I almost got a heart attack when I saw that | Be more thorough on your side effect profile | F | 30 | 7 days | 3/11/2005 | 3 | BV | Itching like never before!!! White clumpy discharge that occured after taking the gel...sort of like wet toilet paper, as stated before. I am very irritated and dry around my private area. I think I may have developed a yeast infection. Did I mention I now have vaginal dryness? BUT, the odor is gone. | F | 30 | 5 days | 3/13/2005 | 3 | BV | Here is another entry for the toilet-papery discharge. I had a large amount the third day of use, flecked with some flesh-colored areas. | I really hope the FDA monitors this site and sees how many women are struggling with this medication. | F | 30 | 5 days | 12/5/2005 | 3 | VB | I drink so I was nauseous as hell. | I used the Metrogel, then did the Monistat (I guess from what I read here which has been great to hear others experiencing the same since I thought my cooch was rotting or something). Anyway how the heck do you know when it's gone? I did the metro gel the previous week, then the monistat last week, I'm still yellowishy texturized discharging. When do you know its gone & would you say this is normal to experience stuff for a little while after you've taken the meds? | F | 30 | 5 days | 7/24/2006 | 3 | OMG!!!! Im sooooooooooooo glad I found this site, because I thought something was wrong with my body. Now I think I have an yeast infection after using this. Dose anyone know what to take cause I have a white thick like paste discharge with itching on my lips of my vajayjay :-). I will not take this Metrogel again NEVER!!!!!! | F | 30 | 7 days 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 3 | Bv | Day 3 I noticed clumpy pieces. Day 4 the pieces were light maroon like dried yogurt pieces. It's never done this before & I'm bloated. The gel is still visible in some pieces. No smell. Im on birth control & maybe its spotting. I haven't had a period in 2 years. I just want to wash this stuff out. | F | 30 | 5 days | 6/23/2017 | 3 | BV | Tissue paper like white clumpy discharge. Cramps and headache . Fatigue . On day 3 and starting to getting bloody chunky discharge along with the white discharge. Been on this once before and symptoms only cleared up for a couple months. | F | 30 | 5 days .75 MG 1X day | 1/5/2021 | 3 | BV | Little nauseous, cramping, fatigue, bloated | Not sure if it's helping I'm having a cottage cheese like consistency coming out. Looks like I have a yeast infection now. But no smell just a little itchy. | F | 30 | 5 days 1X day | 8/22/2020 | 2 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge, fleshy colored tissue like discharge accompanied by a small amount of pink discharge. | The specks of tissue looking discharge terrified me because I am 5 weeks pregnant and non of the sites for the medication list this as a side effect but all the pregnancy blogs tell you that's a symptom of miscarriage. So so happy I found this thread. | F | 30 | 3 days 1X day | 9/21/2022 | 2 | BV | Bad taste in mouth, stomach cramps, dizziness, fatigue | I began this treatment yesterday. I had underwent a five day very strong course of antibiotic about a month ago for a broken finger which I needed stitches. After the antibiotic I began to experience symptoms which were associated with a yeast infection, so I started an over the counter yeast infection treatment for 5 days. Symptoms began getting worse. Went to the dr and she gave me a one time use yeast infection pill and a cream. I took it and they called me a few days later and said that my labs showed a bacterial infection so she prescribed the metrogel. As soon as I took it I remember that I had taken this a few years ago and had awful side effects. A very bad almost "metal" taste in my mouth, stomach cramps an dizziness. Also my period had started two days ago and now I'm not bleeding at all... I should have read the directions before, I am going on vacation this week, leaving in 2 days. Does anyone know what would happen if I doubled up on the gel? This is the only vacation I have all year and to not be able to drink at all the whole time... just kind of sucks. Although it's def not worth it to deal w/ the side effects. I def just can't stop taking it now though right, and resume when I get back from the trip? Or double up tomorrow and the next day so I can at least have a few drinks at the end of the week? If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. | F | 30 | 5 days 1X day | 7/18/2011 | 2 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge that looks like tissue, which sometimes was pinkish or reddish. Scared the heck out of me! Glad I found this board! Was ready to run to my OBGYN thinking I might have a massive fungal infection inside of me! My vulva and surrounding areas are dry and irritated and raw. Burning. Have tried this gel previously and this is the first time I am having this scary set of side effects. I read somewhere that it is because of sloughing/erosion of the vaginal cells. I wonder if that is a good thing?! It's really painful and scary. | Side effects should be better described. OBGYNS need to tell their patients about these side effects, or they are going to lose a lot of patients who died of heart attacks seeing this discharge! | F | 30 | 4 days | 7/3/2006 | 2 | possible infection | Massive, White, clumpy discharge that began two days after LAST dose. After another poster sugested it, I took out my nuva ring and was horrified at the clumps on it. GROSS! My doctor had me use this TWICE a day for five days, isnt that too much?! | All these posts but no clear answer to the question: Is the white clumps a yeast infection (I have no itching or smell) or will it go away on its own after being off metro gel for a few days? How long will this last? Does it need to be treated? PLEASE EMAIL ME with answer!!! | F | 30 | 5 days | 4/24/2007 | 2 | BV | My doctor told me to take this even during my period. I had the clumps as well. You can only imagine how freaked out I was. I had no side effects while I was on metrogel other than the clumps, but then 2 or 3 days after I finished, it was like cayenne pepper was rubbed on my vagina. The burning and itching is a b***h. Its one week later and I'm still burning and itching. Seems like the only thing this gel is good for is getting rid of the smell. | I don't think I'll be takng this again, though the smell is gone. Wish I found this site earlier! | F | 30 | 5 days | 9/4/2007 | 1 | Bv | Day for I start cramping , and noticed when I inserted my 4 dose it had blood on it when I pulled it back out then had cramping then when I used it a bunch of tissue looking stuff came out brown blood like I thought it was a baby lol I skipped day 5 I took a flagyl pill for day 5 still bleeding heavy hopefully it stop soon I feel better seeing everybody have the same symptoms i panicked at first | F | 30 | 5 days 2 1X day | 10/26/2023 | 1 | BV | Pelvic pain, abdominal cramping, bloating, bleeding | I had no symptoms. OB prescribed Metrogel. Day 2 I started getting bloody discharge. Day 3 bleeding worked to spotting. OB recommended I stop taking it. 36 hours of not taking the gel and I'm bleeding even more. 8 wks postpartum so this is not my period. I will be seeing the doctor as soon as I can for the bleeding | F | 30 | 3 days 1X day | 2/8/2022 | 1 | Bacterial infection while pregnant | Gave me a white clumpy discharge and also spotting with it while in early pregnancy do not like it will not use it again | F | 30 | 5 days 1X day | 2/24/2021 | 1 | Suspected bacterial infection | Burning inside and out Itching inside and out Burning rectum Painful cramps Sensitive vulva | Please any ladies that read this don't use this medication I am still having bad affects 3 weeks after finishing my dose....and still having the white tissue paper discharge can you believe it?? I can't have sex which is putting severe strain on my relationship...I have been hospitalised I am losing hope I pray that these symptoms start to improve soon I literally can't take anymore....don't touch with a barge poll ladies!!! | F | 30 | 5 days 0.75 | 12/3/2018 |
