| 3 | bv | the tissue paper discharge really freaked me out. I wondered what on earth the problem could be this time. I am sick and tired of the constant itching, burning, itching, burning. Has anyone ever been able to get free of this cycle of BV and yeast? | F | 46 | 4 days | 4/3/2006 | 1 | BV | Just excess discharge when wiping after using restroom. | It has not even been a full week after finishing the gel and the BV has returned.I will now use the remainder of the tube but i highly doubt it's going to cure this.What a let down. | F | 46 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 5 | bv | Loved it, the odor was gone by the next morning. Other than the discharge taking up to a week to leave, that would be my only draw back to it | F | 45 | 5 times | 2/3/2015 | 3 | Bv | I used metro gel and on day 3 I started spotting bright red with clear discharge finished the 5 day treatment and still spotting and this is 8 days later what's going on ??? | F | 45 | 5 days | 4/21/2017 | 3 | BV | I have taken this medication on and off for frequent bouts of BV. I took it this last time, and after being off of the medication for about 4 days also got globs of the clumpy wet tissue paper looking discharge. I had that for 3 days now, and have now started bleeding...possibly starting my period, but who knows!! All and all the medicine seems to cure the BV, but the clumpy discharge is gross! | F | 45 | 5 days | 7/10/2005 | 1 | BV-Clue Cells | 2nd degree burns of the vagina, vulva, passed out from the pain(10). Long term effects-Mast cells cause high sensativity and burning(2), even after three and half years | Doctors are not always quick to say it was the drug, but I found one who told me what happened and what to do to help with pain after two months. Corn Starch Douche worked wonders on the pain. I would not ever use this drug again. Doctor had given me Flaygl not knowing it is the same and it caused bladder burning pain(10) and severe uti burning(10). The pain was so bad from the burning in the bladder all I could do was lay on the floor and beg God for help. After 3 and half years I still sleep with ice between my legs because of the discomfort of the burning(2). Sex is limited. The clue cells of course came back, now I use Aloe Vera, directly from the leaf, cooled in the refrigertor, for 7 nights, up in the vagina and it kills the clue cells and feels good when you feel burning. I hope this information is beneficial. I think womem should be made aware of the risk of being burnt, not just have burning from this drug. By the way, most doctors dismiss side effects as the problem | F | 45 | 2 days | 11/8/2007 | 5 | bacterial vagina | Headache, the worse thing for me was the achy body in the morning, no energy but a small price to pay for the comfort that comes after u are done taking it! Everyone has different side effects, mine were not bad at all and I'm terrified to take any medication and I had very little side effects. So don't be scared by what others say try it yourself you may find it's not that bad! A word of advice take yeast infection meds the first day you start this medication to avoid any yeast or discharge problem. I took Diflu, it's a one time pill and last for seven days in the body. Good luck ladies! | I took this medication for 5 days and I'm glad I did! Try it most women tolerate it quite well. Good luck ladies and God bless u all! | F | 44 | 5 days 75 1X day | 8/10/2010 | 4 | BV | Found in a pap smear. Same white discharge "clumps" started on second to last day, clinging to the applicator on removal. Will It go away? Have hot weekend planned! | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/12/2006 | 4 | BV | Headache, lack of ability for clear thinking, discharge as discussed by others: from brown grainy to white clumping, weird taste in my mouth | The discharge seems to be expected, though no mention of it by dr. or in reading material that comes with the Rx. Taking acidophilus to avoid getting a yeast infection from the antibiotic. | F | 44 | 5 days | 7/17/2009 | 3 | BV | Persistent high fevers, chills, vomiting (flu like symptoms) following 1st dose. Tested negative for flu a/b and negative for Covid. No other preexisting conditions or medications or allergies. | Is this a rare side effect for metro gel? | F | 44 | 5 days 7.5 mg 2X day | 8/29/2020 | 3 | BV | Brown, red, pink shredded tissue? It felt like paper but looked like shredded roast beef. Had it for the whole time. I stopped taking it on day 4 and douched and even more came out. Never experienced that before and I'm gonna call the doc Monday morning. I guess we will see if this is gonna continue to come out of me over the weekend. I am on no meds but have an IUD. | F | 44 | 5 days 1X day | 5/27/2022 | 1 | I had no symptoms but positive bv | Horrible metallic taste, body aches, and fatigue. I have been bleeding and passing clots as if I have a period. Lower back cramps. I had no symptoms only a positive vaginosis test. Absolutely no odor, no discharge only a positive test. I have been bleeding for 5 days now since finishing the last dose. | I would never take this drug again. I feel horrible. | F | 44 | 7 days .75% 2X day | 7/5/2020 | 1 | BV | The gel goes in clear and comes out looking like Bama Red Plum Jam! What is that about? | The week following the five day treatment, I spotted all week. The week after that I have had a seven day period that appears to never end. I flooded three times to day! With what? I think I'm about out of blood! I didn't know I had a BV. No symptoms. Same heterosexual relationship for two years. Oh, I think this stuff is extremely hormonal! Breasts are sore like when I first found out I was pregnant (that was years ago)...and I told somebody off today! yikes... | F | 44 | 5 days | 3/6/2007 | 5 | Bv | White spongy balls, also has what looks like reddish brown discharge combination. Odor gone since the first tubal application. Yes, I'm bloated in my abdomen, can even get a little nauseous, but it works a heck of alot better than the metronidazole pill. The pill works, but that taste it leaves even when meds are completed..yuck...also the pills make me very nauseous. | I love that it's clear and 5 days. | F | 43 | 5 days 1X day | 7/9/2020 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Cramps, Metallic Taste, Slight Headache, Fatigue | The Dr prescribed me to take for 7 nights. I took for 5 nights. It appears to not be gone away completely because I didn't finish the remaining 2 days. I took a yeast pill after to prevent yeast infection. Not sure if I should start treatment over or just wait a few more days for relief. I don't what to go to the Dr again. | F | 43 | 5 days 70G 1X day | 5/15/2021 | 4 | recurring bv | Clumpy cottage cheese like, dry mucusy white/or brownish. With the 1st treatment a little burning. With relief from odor, burning and itching on the 2 ND day. | My bv is recurring and I've been to the doctor for my bv as many times as 3 times a month. My doctor finally gave me orders for the 5 day treatment and then once a week for 15 weeks. She also me to but RepHresh Pro-B ( a feminine probiotic supplement). I started taking it before I started the metrogel and after 2 days of taking at I started feeling much better. I noticed a calming in the older and the itching stopped. She told me to keep taking that even after the treatments then that should help stop the recurring bv. The bv typically comes back within a week of finishing the treatment so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that this works. The Clumpy discharge has always been normal for me and I've never tested positive for yeast infection after treatment. | F | 43 | 2 days 0.75% | 12/17/2014 | 3 | BV | At first I didn't think I had side effects. However, today, which is the day after my 3rd use, I feel unusually tired and nauseous. I didn't even think that it could be the meds...but then I read the reviews. Makes sense... | I'm not sure what to think about Metrogel. I didn't experience the strong fishy smell, but I had itching and severe burning during urination. The itching is gone, but the really painful burning during urination is still there. Not sure what to do... I never had BV before, so I'm a bit clueless... 😳 | F | 43 | 3 days 1X day | 1/22/2014 | 3 | BV | Huge globs of thick white discharge, just like the white toilet paper description of others. For days afterward, small reddish yellow clumps, dryness and itching. I thought I was going crazy till I found this board. | Someone should put this in the official paperwork! It works well enough but I wasn't prepared for the side effects. | F | 43 | 4 days | 5/11/2005 | 3 | bv | yuk yuk yuk i thought i was going to give birth to something but it's wonderful to hear others talk about this brown stuff. ........ | F | 43 | 5 days | 10/5/2006 | 1 | BV | 1) Fatigue. I just had no energy. Cleaning my house for 90 minutes wiped me out! 2)Incredible stomach cramps began on day two. I was being very attentive to my diet, but no matter what healthy thing I put in my body, it caused moderate to severe cramping about 30 min later. The cramping was severe enough that I will not continue this medication. | I'd been managing my BV with | F | 43 | 2 days | 6/17/2005 |
