 5  bv I am on the third day, have two more doses left. So far it has worked to get rid of my symptoms. The only side effect I’ve had is white clumpy discharge and sometimes it is even a little pink/maroonish. I’m wondering if I’m spotting? I saw other have this too so I am not as worried F 21 5 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis I had some mild stomach cramps every now and then, but nothing I couldn't tolerate. I applied at bed time. On the 3rd day i started noticing the white clumpy discharge, no odor, just some dry clumpy pieces. So far its been 2 days since my last dose and i still have the clumps but I'm sure it'll end soon.

 5  BV thick white discharge w/clumpy red blood tissue and slight cramping pain, also very smelly gas. i was worried when i saw red tissue chunks in my discharge but i seen that im not the only one experiencing those symptoms, im on day 4 of 5 and everything seems to be fine the fishy smell and itchy burning have gone away almost as soon as i started the treatment and i can only hope that its all over soon and i do not get a triggered yeast infection like many have said happened to them after using this treatment.

 5  Yeast Infection Experienced headaches, nausea, and slight dizziness in the beginning. Has really helped. Stopped the itching within 30 min on the first day. By the second day, the itching had almost completely stopped, but experienced clumpy white discharge. By day three, the discharge stopped and the itching completely stopped. Day four is tomorrow and I'm expecting that it will be completely healed after treatment. Prescribed two Diflucan pill as well. Overall I am satisfied F 21 5 days

 5  bv I'm pregnant and was prescribed this every night for 5 nights. The only side effect I had is the white clumpy discharge. Didn't really bother me tho, just put on a pantyliner and last night was my last night. Had some odor before medication so I hope its gone now. F 21 6 days

 5  BV Just the white rubbery discharge. Will ask for yi pill just in case. Took the pill, tastes horrible so i was bad at taking it on time. That got rid of the odor cuz i did finish my full dose. But since it was so irregular didn't fully cure bv. Now using metrogel i love it only 1x/day. And no side effects like the pill! F 21 6 days

 5  BV During Pregnancy White Discharge (The gel leaving my body) and a light brown disharge (The infection leaving my body) I was terrified of taking this medicine after I read some of the comments about it on this site. But I decided I might as well since I had no other option (the pill made me sick) and I didn't want to go into preterm labor. After the first night I realized I worried about nothing. I didn't get side effects except for the white discharge which everyone was freaking out about, but I with every vaginal cream/gel I've used I've had this. It's normal, what goes up must come down. I also got a light brown disharge which i just basically narrowed down to the infection coming out. It cleared up my BV as far as I can tell so I would recommend it. (= F 21 5 days

 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

 4  bv so glad i found the site as well... i was supposed to have waited untill my period was completely finsihed before starting metrogel-v but due to a change in my birth control it didnt seem to want to go away.. just stayed there real light. so on day 10 of the period my dr gave up and told me to start. ever since day 1 i have had the same discharge but im guessing since theres blood invloved mine is almost the color of what i would expect the skin on the inside on me to look like.. (dark red-brown)which is why i freaked out when it came out. i dont know if its helped yet because i still have tonight before im done. we'll see. F 21 5 days

Warning: do not drink any alcohol with this medication, I forgot that I was on this medication and had a glass of wine with dinner one night and wasn't able to eat for 3 days after that, felt like throwing up.

 4  Bacterial Infection-Gardenella I think this product is helping alot! I started off by using the pill and it made me feel like complete crap and got horrible horrible side effects from it. So my doctor thought the gel would be better for me and surprisingly have had little to no side effects. All I've had is some stomach cramps, gas, ans thick white cottage cheese discharge (which is the medicine/bacteria coming out). I've also just experienced little itching as well. I know some people have gotten yeast infections from this medication but that is easily curable as well. :) hope this helped others! F 21 5 days

 4  BV Im just finished my metrogel about 2 days ago. I had these chunks that range from gray to white to pink, they look like wet toilet paper. I'm so glad I found this site. I thought something was SERIOUSLY wrong with me, cause it looks like I'm shedding tissue or something. Im glad I'm not the only one that has experienced this. The metrogel worked well. i noticed douching helps with the wet toilet paper thing. I guess it just gets it all out at once. F 21 4 days

 4  BV The Metrogel helped as soon as I used it on Day 1. I was experiencing very uncomfortable burning prior to meds. I just finished my 5day dose and I noticed the white-tissue paper like discharge. I was relieved to see that this is normal. I'm still stlightly concerned because I've noticed that at different points during the day I still feel a slight burning sensation. I'm hoping this goes away but if not its back to the doc. F 21 4 days

 4  Bv Ive tried both the pills and the gel. I honestly could not stomch or swallow the pills so my dr recommended the gel. Ive had bv a few times and the gel helped but i stopped because the white discharge. So now that i see others has had it i will finish my 5days. I was so scared about the actual white thick discharge i went to the dr. Had she told me it was normal i wouldnt have freaked out. But as i said im more confortable now knowing im not alone with the discharge side affect F 21 6 days

 4  Bv Got an off balance feeling and itching Tonight is last night of the metrogel.. I've had Bv off and on for about 2 years, would use cleocin every other time but I think I developed a resistance for it so now I'm giving metrogel a try. It seems to be working, but I'm concerned about this itching I'm having still. F 21 5 days

 4  Bv Felt a little off balance (dizzy)? And had some itching Last night was the last dose for my treatment. I've had Bv off and on for about 2 years now, was using the cleocin gel but it seems like that medicine stopped working for me so I went ahead and tried metrogel. I haven't really experienced the "clumpy cottage cheese discharge" like most have but what little does come out makes me itch. The smell is gone but I'm curious to whether it has killed the bacteria bc of the itching or if it may caused a yeast infection. I guess we shall see in the next couple days. I just can't wait to get back in bed with my man. There needs to be more research on this shit, it's a degrading thing to deal with :( F 21 5 days
