| 5 | BV | I too was completely freaked out by this clear/white flesh like toilet paperish mucous clumps. Oh my god... what was this! For days I searched afraid of what I was going to find out. I finished the 5 day doses 2 days ago. The clummpy discharge started, about 3 days into the treatment. My period started today and I still have the clumps :o(. How long does this last... the clumps? Thank you sisters... I can breathe a little easier!! | I just wish that the manufactor and the doctors/ pharmacists would deem this important enough to let us know of the possible side effects. I think I will look further into this. | F | 42 | 5 days | 11/24/2006 | 5 | BV | Worked great. First time I ever needed to use it and I'm glad it worked.first day off of the meds and I I got my period. I was worried at first since it was thick and clumpy but I see that's a side affect and not a YI . | F | 42 | 5 days 1 | 10/1/2014 | 5 | BV | NORMAL discharge...I repeat, this is NORMAL. This is an anti-biotic, think about it for a minute. There is only one way out of the vagina, babe. The bacteria has to go somewhere.. It's all OK, just get through the week and roll on. | True, taking the pill treatment gives the convenience of everything coming in through the bloodstream and out through the "back door," but FOR ME, I like having a refill of this on hand at pharmacy so I don't have to go the GYN every time I figure it out during or after sex (you know what I'm talking about). We know what it is, gimme the gel Doc. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 11/8/2021 | 4 | BV | Slight itching and burning. Clumpy white discharge. I had sex with my boyfriend after day 5 wrong move. I now have swelling, burning. I guess I should have waited until it was all out of me. | The medication does get rid of the odor. | F | 42 | 5 days 75 | 8/13/2015 | 4 | BV | 1st day burning 2nd day felt great like my old self. 3rd day a bit of burning none like the 1st day tho. no clumps, no other problems to report. | I am taking fem-dophilus..it was clearning things up before I started with the metrogel. I take 2 caps in the am then 2 caps in the pm. | F | 42 | 3 days | 2/11/2009 | 3 | On 5th day meant to take 5th dose tonite but i have severe cramps and bleeding tho im not due my period wont use this again anyone else had this so dont think i b taking 5th dose tonite | F | 42 | 5 days | 4/1/2017 | 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 7.5 2X W | 9/10/2020 | 2 | BV | Im sooo glad I found this board! I have been fighting BV for about 3 weeks, and COULDNT AFFORD the METROGEL (when you pay for your own meds its like $95.oo!!) Got the RX the day my period started. Normally I cramp for 1 day but I started the gel (figure lets just get the mess over with and phamiscist said it was ok) Got AGONIZING cramps (normal for me on day 1) that are continuing (NOT NORMAL). Motrin barely touched. Im now on Day 4 of the and Im stopping this stuff! Having dark pinkinsh clumps today-last dose I took of gel was yesterday am | Prepare your self to feel MISERABLE while taking it, stomach cramps BAD and stuff coming out of you and a general feeling of not being up to par. If the 3 doses didnt kill the BV Ill just LIVE WITH IT AND LET mother nature take her course! (I can go away on its own if you have a normal immune system!) I had the BV 2 weeks b4 the gel and didnt feel anything close to this miserable!) before ! Still wanting the hideous kicked in the stomach cramps to go away and its NOT DUE TO MY PERIOD I CAN ASSURE YOU! Phamisist did warn me that by taking this stuff its pretty much no holds barred that you WILL get a yeast infection (as this metro is an antibiotic) and to follow it with some Yeast cream etc. Sorry kids, Im eating yogurt and being nicer to my tata (no fabric softner, gentle soap and diet) but Im NOT USING this gel AGAIN-Ugh! Side effects worse than the BV! | F | 42 | 3 days | 12/18/2005 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | vaginal itching can't really say it was yeast though. | long term use has caused cancer in mice and rats. it doesn't get rid of Bacterial Vaginosis.why hasn't anyone come up with something that will work? what does it take? it's not cheap $64.99 retail price. | F | 42 | 5 days .75% 70G 1X day | 1/8/2011 | 1 | BV | Dizziness, constipation, bloating, vivid dreams, sleeplessness,headaches, clumpy white discharge, dark bloody discharge, pelvic pain | I thought Flagyl was bad but this was horrible for me. I think some ppl may have a alergic reaction and im one of them. I will stick to home remedys that have no side effects next time. This even gave me a yeast infection to top it all off. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 5/27/2011 | 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 | 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 | 1 | abnormal pap | I was asymptomatic prior to using this drug...I am exceedingly pissed off that the | I hope my doc will hesitate before prescribing this medication to someone else. | F | 42 | 5 days | 4/4/2005 | 1 | BV | Fatigue, burning sensation in torso, numb tailbone, bleeding on day 5, extremely red/purple color in vulva creases | I hate this stuff. All antibiotics. Bleeding started at 6 pm on day 5. Didn't take 5th dose. Bright red blood, not uterine, so… my vagina is bleeding?? Bleeding heavily for 27 hours now. Like on a heavy period day. Vagina feels injured/cut/scraped. On-call doc said she'd never heard of bleeding as a side effect. Said to heal the tissues I could use Vaseline or coconut oil. I tried coconut oil but still tons of bleeding. And read that coconut oil prevents clotting. Super concerned, especially because I have a hysterectomy scheduled in 2 weeks for extremely symptomatic fibroids. If this messes up my surgery I'm going to be pissed!!! Because I can't pee or poop normally due to these stupid fibroids. Please email me if anyone figured out a way to stop the bleeding, or how long you bled for. | F | 42 | 4 days 1X day | 4/30/2022 | 1 | Bv - only discharge no itch. | On day 1 I had white discharge with small brownish spots, this turned into light bleeding. I had just finish my period so not period blood. Lower stomach cramps but all still seemed well. On day 2 more bleeding with dizzyness, fatigue, sore throat, migraine with fog. Bloating was so sore I couldn't stand up for long and couldn't fit my clothes. Vagina and outside area was dry and tender to touch. When I was due to take the 3rd dose I was feeling so ill I couldn't continue so stopped. I told the doctor the next day who sent me for a swab test but he didn't believe my symptoms. Said it was a bit excessive. | Once I stopped taking it all my symptoms clear up within 24hrs except a little spotting. The cramps and Vaginal tenderness I still have 4 days later. Waiting results to see if I now have thrush aswell. Will not use this medicine again. There must be a better way to deal with this. Never had it before. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 4/29/2021 | 5 | BV | None | Great. Knocked out the odor quickly. | F | 41 | 5 days | 12/8/2004 | 4 | BV | white, thick gel like discharge after day 3 | to get rid of the discharge try using a reusable douche that you can fill yourself of just plain water, if you are not pregnant. you won't believe how much of that white spongy discharge stuff comes out - i understand now why it's taking some people so long for it to stop. yuck! | F | 41 | 5 days .75 1X day | 11/20/2014 | 3 | bv | Day 1 noticed smell gone. Next day clear discharge, then tiny red clots in dis large, increasing in density, size and color almost magenta. I had been spotting for 2 mos after horrible trial of depo provera which is when bad smell after sex started occurring. I switched to the pill, vinegar douche 1x, DanActive probiotic yogurt, then started this gel after saw ob/gyn who tested my vaginal pH (high) then swab showed bacteria. Some cramping, constipation, moody, bloated, back pain. Hope bv is gone afterwards. I too feel discharge is part of change in ph and curing infection. | F | 41 | 2 days 1X day | 2/2/2011 | 1 | BV | Bad, painful stomach cramps. Tired. Feverish. Worried. | I didn't realize that a medicine inserted into the vagina could make me feel so bad all over. I feel like I have the flu. I stopped on day 4 and can't continue. I feel miserable. | F | 41 | 4 days | 2/12/2007 |
