| 4 | BV | I've never had BV before but after noticing a fish like smell x2 days post sex I knew exactly what it was. I called my gyn and requested the gel. The gel started working immediately and the smell was gone after the first dose. The thick, wet toilet paper like discharge started day two and caught me way off guard. Really glad I found this site to see it's normal (would have been nice if my Dr knew that and had told me). It has lasted 3 days after the treatment, but has decreased a lot. This sounds gross, but if your boyfriend can stomach it- we wore a condom and had sex and it surprisingly "cleaned out my pipes". The following day I had a scant amount of discharge left and took another dose "just in case". By far not the greatest medical advice, but it worked for us. Good luck! Being a girl is rough sometimes! | F | 23 | 5 days 5 day gel | 9/12/2014 | 4 | BV | Clumpy white discharge looked like yeast infection, but was not. I'm only on the 4th day, but odor is completely gone. I'm hoping the discharge goes away. | F | 20 | 5 days 7.5 | 7/18/2014 | 4 | BV | thanks goodness this is normal. i obviously knew the gel constistancy exiting my body was the medicine coming out, but i see the ricotta cheese/toilet paper/spongy white stuff too. i didn't know if that was leftoever gel, or the gel pushing stuff out. i feel like doctors should have warned us all as they prescribe us this. im a day or two past my last dose and i'm still having the gel discharge along with the white stuff. how much is possibly up there?? someone commented on here and said it would take 3 days after your last dose to clear up. let's hope that's the case. however, aside from this, i think i feel better. there is no smell at all! :) | F | 25 | 5 days 1X day | 9/18/2014 | 4 | BV | Thick white discharge | Discharge after finishing | 39 | 5 days 7.5 gel | 2/16/2020 | 4 | BV | Clumps of white / pink / brown tissue-like discharge which scared me a little. Read up on this & it seems it’s a common side effect. The gel cleared up my BV quickly though. | I would take it again but the side effects are unpleasant. | F | 22 | 5 days 7.5mg pd | 1/4/2020 | 4 | BV | Lower abdomen cramping (not severe-but like a dull ache) and on the second day I noticed a brownish red like blood discharge. It really worried me until I noticed on this forum that it seems to be normal. I guess that means it's working? | F | 35 | 5 days | 5/31/2020 | 4 | BV | Clumpy clear and red/brown discharge on Day 3, extreme fatigue, a little crampy, sore throat, stuffy nose | Not sure if it's normal to be tired during treatment but I've slept wayyy more than normal. Also after research I found out that my sore throat and stuffy nose is not due to a cold, it is a common side effect of the medicine! | F | 22 | 5 days 500 1X day | 7/30/2020 | 4 | Suspected Trichomoniosis Sti | Continuous severe pelvic pain and cramping, slimy discharge odor was gone after first applicator ... day3 clear discharge clumpy chalk colored balls day 4 little light pink balls small but big enough to see odorless looks like cotton still having bad cramping very nauseous and bloated experiencing fatigue have no appetite terrible mood swings vagina is dry , itches at entrance ... was worrying a lot considering seeing my physician before the swab and stool samples results but after reading these comments i'm at ease however i believe i will go because i seem to now be getting a yeast infection after not being given the prevention 1 dose pil ( cant remember the name) cant wait for this to be over its been 3 months of discomfort | Before the clumps i saw a little blood now and again i believe the applicator bruises me or well i bruised myself somewhere | F | 21 | 5 days 1X day | 8/11/2020 | 4 | Bv | Day 1 white beady / clumpy discharge. Day 2 pink/ red beady/ clumpy discharge. Does any one else notice pink discharge after a couple days? | F | 28 | 5 days 30MG 1X day | 8/23/2020 | 4 | BV | I took it for 5 days, Sunday the 9th of Aug 2020 was my last dose. I had no foul sleep to begin with no symptoms really but doc find it during routine pap. It worked though coz I did have extremely minor itching and after first day poof it was gone! However........ | However, I decided to enjoy some intimate time with my boyfriend and WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! The clump situation though!!!!!!! Omg, I thought I was broken or something. Thank God he is understanding and was like it's ok baby, let's continue our fun . Then yesterday I tried again thinking he probably cleaned me out, NOPE!! IT WAS DRIPPING OUT AT THIS POINT, so I had a towel on stand by, still did our thing. Listen, if rather feel nauseated, tired, get a headache, or whatever than this. I know it's life but umm, nah boo boo, I love my intimate time. And this is my first time ever getting BV. The annoyance of it all LMAO!! But at least we got meds to fix it | F | 36 | 5 days 1X day | 8/13/2020 | 4 | Vaginal infection | Itchy | After the third day I had bloody tissue coming out of my vagina as I wiped after going pee. | F | 34 | 5 days | 7/14/2016 | 4 | my md gave me exam and saw it. trea | Slight headache and lower back pain and little burning on 2nd dosage | Have any one know if this is normal are how long does it take before you know any results | F | 55 | 5 days 0.7 | 1/17/2016 | 4 | bv | white clumpy discharge was a crazy amount on day 2. I am currenlty on day 3 and still experiencing it. thankful i found this site because it sounds as if this is normal and its the bacteria expelling itself. no other complaints yet | F | 40 | 5 days 1X day | 3/6/2017 | 4 | BV | I did not see a lot of patients describing hot flashes/fever as a side effect. It would last for several hours the first night but than gradually improving. It also caused sleeplessness the first 2 nights but after that it was getting better. These are the only side effects I experienced and I completed the 5 day treatment. | F | 50 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 8/9/2016 | 4 | For BV | Yes white chunks are medicine working and cleaning itself out. I'm on second does in 3 months no pills just gel. | Still burning and itching also abdominal pain | F | 37 | 5 days 70mg | 5/28/2017 | 4 | Postpartum bacterial infection | I went in due to pelvic pain that never went away after prolonged lochia and was told I have developed a bacteria l infection. I had been using spermicide. I had no bad smells or odd discharge. The gel is easy, it does not burn or itch at all. The first day or 2 I would get a bout of white discharge but it seemed to be the product. The 3rd day back to clear then the 4th day it was clear again except it looked like someone opened a jar of red glitter in me. 5th day there is more bleeding. I think my tubes were partially full of air so I will be using it one more time. The pelvic pain subsided though. | I would use it again (I am bf) Bloody discharge seems to be normal. | F | 33 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 4/16/2023 | 4 | BV | I had pretty bad cramping all throughout the treatment but got worse towards day 3, on about day 2 or 3 I started having very weird chunky cottage cheese discharge like you would in a yeast infection then it turned out to have chunks of dark brown/red and now today on day 5 it's huge chunks of red chunky discharge and I was severely freaked out because it doesn't say that as a side effect on the box or anywhere! Still having bad cramps and I'm not supposed to have my period for 2.5 more weeks | F | 23 | 5 days 70 gram 1X day | 12/23/2022 | 4 | Bv | Discharge, headache, fatigue | On the first day I had clumpy white discharge when I peed now on the 2nd day I have cooked ground beef looking discharge. When I wipe its like a scoop full of ground beef. It's rancid and alarming.. Is this normal? | F | 28 | 5 days 1X day | 10/13/2022 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I have had BV for about a year or more. Although I never experienced bad odor or bad discharge (although I experienced this in high school and early adult years on and off) I started experiencing pain during sex and it would not go away. (About 8 months on and off) Got diagnosed with BV by my doctor about a year ago and never treated it, it was on and off and at the time the time I was not experiencing pain during sex. My first time using the gel I experienced Brown tissue like discharge. Abdominal cramps such as being on period. Itching increase by day 2/3 and itching decrease by day 4. Constant urinating but I suspect I have a uti aswell and currently medicating my uti. Overall fatigue, back pain and my god the Diarrhea!! every time I pee, I poop a little. I poop multiple times a day since I started treatment | Need to get probiotics as others have commented. My period is due to start on day 5 of treatment, so I am unsure if the very light spotting is due to my period coming or the gel. Hoping I can have pain free sex moving forward, aswell as changing what I eat and preventing the BV from reoccurring | F | 24 | 5 days 1 1X day | 7/3/2022 | 4 | Bacterial vaginosis infection | Vaginal bleeding like I was having a period. The problem is I'm 70 years old so not a period. Didn't have any bleeding before taking this gel, also experiencing cramping. | F | 70 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 5/28/2021 |
