| 3 | BV | While taking this medication; I only experienced one symptom, which was slight white clumpy discharge, which is normal (No burning/itching; if it itches/burns you need to seek medical attention). I was on this medication before, same thing happened then. So I expected it. | I took this medication once before, as I mentioned. BV keeps reoccurring for me, I'm not sure why I keep getting it. I've had BV on and off for about a year now. This medicine is the only thing that keeps it away for awhile. I refuse to take the pill form of Metronidazole, as it gave me oral thrush. I'm also taking Folic Acid pills and Acidophilus pills daily now. | F | 20 | 5 days 2X day | 2/16/2010 | 3 | BV | It made me extremely tired for the entire duration. However the scent cleared up after the first day. After the fourth day, small bits of white gelly like material came out. Two days after I stopped using it (duration of five days) I got a terrible yeast infection. Had to use monistat 7 to treat that. | It gets rid of the bv wonderfully, but that yeast is awful. | F | 27 | 5 days 1X day | 7/7/2010 | 3 | Metrogel-Vaginal 75% | I noticed mild headaches, but nothing that interfered with my day. After the first dose, I noticed a full improvement- no more smell and no crazy discharge! Second day- great, third day is when the clumpy discharge began and I wanted to cry. I don't notice any smell as of now, but crazy amounts of little clumpy white/yellow discharge which is NOT fun! A little cramping, but I am getting my period soon so I cannot tell which it is from. | I feel ALL your guys' pain... hang in there. I think they need to include the discharge in the side effects- as I am sure I'm not the only one who was a little freaked out by this! I really hope this goes away as I have just finished my 5th dose. I have half a tube left over and I saved 2 of the syringe tubes that I will clean very well and I think I will use 1 dose a week to maintain the BV. I just want this to go away, I forget what it feels like to be normal! I have also tried Tindamax many times in the past, it was horrible made me very sick and did not work. I have tried literally every home remedy and every natural thing out there for BV.. I just want this gone. Good luck to you all. | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 8/1/2010 | 3 | BV | Burning, UTI, Hot flashes, Clumpy discharge. | If you have intersistial Cystitis I would think twice about using. Made everything worse. | F | 54 | 5 days 1X day | 10/27/2010 | 3 | BV | Cramps, thick clumpy discharge, upset stomach, lethargy, slight burning | This was my second time with BV, and I hope it's my last time! The first time I used Metrogel I had horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea the first night. This time I had cramps but no diarrhea. There was quite a bit of white clumpy discharge by day 3, and a burning sensation each time I went to the bathroom. My period started on the 5th and final day of treatment. I had a lot of clots and heavy bleeding for the first couple of days. It's been a week since the last dose and I'm still burning and slightly itchy so I think the Metrogel gave me a yeast infection. Back to the doctor I go! I'll take the yeast infection over the BV any day. I was prescribed Boric Acid tablets but I chose to try Fem-Dophilus. I started it the first day of my period so I don't know if it's working. I hate BV! | F | 37 | 5 days 1X day | 9/12/2010 | 3 | BV | White clumpy discharge with red blood like tissue, tired, abdominal cramping/pain | I am really glad I found this site. I was starting to freak out about the white discharge w/red bloody tissue, the abdominal pain and tiredness. Now I feel better because many people have experienced the same symptoms. Why doesn't the drug info address the discharge issues? Why didn't the doctor tell me to expect these symptoms? Annoying! I'm on day 3 out of 5 and am going to just push through it! | F | 37 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 3 | bv | none | i was a little bit freaked out by the white discharge day 3 it was totally clear and then 4 and 5 i have these white clumps. I just want to feel normall again and get over it.. I will keep using the gel until i see no more white discharge.. cuz this is already day 5... | F | 27 | 5 days 1X W | 9/8/2010 | 3 | bv | wet t.p like discharge mucus in stool/diarrhea (could be ibs) nosebleed cramps backache and weird pain at the inner folds of my elbows idk why??? | im about to finish with day 5 but im kinda scared to use it the cramps are kinda bad right now and the discharge is sick!!! even though its normal its still freaky and gross | F | 20 | 5 days 1X day | 11/6/2011 | 3 | BV | White discharge, abdominal pain while using it! | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 7/2/2011 | 3 | possible bv | nausea, back pain, white discharge | I have taken a pill for this when i was away at college but this doctor said this is fine to do as well. I have one day left but so far the smell is absolutely gone! even though there is discharge, i'm glad that does not smell because obviously no one wants to smell. I barely had discharge before and now it is worse since that is a side effect of this medication, so i'm not angry about it because I assume when I'm done taking it, it will go away. If not, I will be marching in my doctors office this week! But seems fine. I still think the pill is better because I had zero of these effect, I just couldn't drink alcohol for a week. | F | 22 | 5 days 70 MG 1X day | 9/18/2011 | 3 | BV | None, yet...just a little gel coming out after restroom use. | Oh dear. I am only on day one but after reading some of the comments I am a bit worried. After dealing with undiagnosed BV (embarrassing as hell) for three months, I really welcome any "flushing" discharge, but I am scared to have any of the other symptoms described. Last night after my first insertion I felt as though my ears were going to pop and my tongue was swelling, but the sensation went away and I thought maybe it was my anxiety. I am a little bummed that I can't have sex for a while and can't drink my daily Stella. Why does the alcohol affect it? How does the alcohol mix? Is it because the gel is absorbed? That's weird to me, but I will get over it. I supposed the sex can wait too...I NEVER had BV until I started letting my fiance ejaculate inside me - not to be gross, but hey. So far I don't mind the gel, just hope it works! | F | 27 | 5 days 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 3 | BV | White mucous-like discharge | I really wish I would have seen this website earlier...I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and after getting a thick, white, mucous like discharge on the second and third days, I called my OB thinking that I was losing my mucous plug! I'm still waiting to hear back from them but atleast now I know it is a normal side effect. The pamphlet in the box only said "discharge" and definitely needs to be more specific. It seems like this has been prescribed a lot during pregnancy, but after reading some of these posts I am a bit nervous that it will hurt my baby. | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 6/13/2011 | 3 | BV | clear discharge with blood tissue and tiny specs of coagulated blood on day 6 and morning of day 7(1 day after finishing the medication)--will see if it continues | also experienced some lower back pain (days 2,3,4), stomach ache on days (4 and 5)and mild cramping throughout I don't like to take medication as it is and had no symptoms of bv, my doc just found it with an annual exam. Would like to know what causes the bleeding, even if it is only a small amount | F | 27 | 5 days 5 grams 1X day | 5/7/2011 | 3 | BV | Thank you everyone - after 5 days of AM and PM vaginal gel, I was convinced that chunks of my uterus were being expelled. Got period after one usage. Thought I was having an early miscarriage as the discharge had grey tissue matter in it, as well as soggy paper towel-like debris, and goop that looked like soaked and blended cashews! Something so disturbing plopped into the toilet bowl that I almost vomited! Now, one day after finishing, symptoms gone (to stay I hope) and discharge is nowhere to be found. | F | 35 | 5 days 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 3 | BV | Abdominal Pain, Bloating, UTI Symptoms, intense bladder pain, Stomach (intestinal cramps), Chills. No white discharge, but did have clear discharge when wiping after using the bathroom. After finishing medication on day 6 I did have bloody/clear discharge- but relieved to find that is somewhat normal. | I have had BV twice before and I hate it. I have treated myself with Garlic supplements and Acidophils- which does work. I recently got out of a 3 moth Monogamous relationship and started Oracea for Rosacea (a low dose antibiotic) both of which triggered my BV again. I went to the OB thinking I had an STI- was relieved to find out it wasn't. The Metrogel helped- All of my BV symptoms are gone! No itching, no redness or rash, no irritation and no sticky discharge. If you experience white clumpy discharge I would recommend getting treatment for a yeast infection! This medication does not prevent yeast! It CAN and WILL promote it. I took a dose of Diflucan 2 days before treatment and again on the 6th day after I finished. No clumpy white discharge so far, only clear/bloody discharge which is the infection leaving my body. I am STILL experiencing bad bladder pain. I did a follow up with my OB Doc. and he suspects I have Interstitial Cystitis. I have made an appointment with a Urologist. If you suspect you have this condition DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! It only irritates/inflames and makes everything worse. Other than the bladder pain, this medication worked. I think I will ask for clindamycin next time if I should ever face this again. Hopefully I won't. | F | 31 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 11/25/2010 | 3 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge, slight cramps, and a weird smell | I dont know how I feel about the gel yet, at first I just had regular discharge that would go away and come back. The doctor put me on this gel and after the first day I was having this clumpy white discharge I had never seen before!(and a slight smell) The discharge is still there but im on my last day of treatment maybe it will clear up in a couple of days! At least i hope so, wish me luck... | F | 18 | 5 days 1X day | 10/30/2010 | 3 | BV | Heart racing, Tired, Vaginal Itching,Thick Clumpy Discharge | I have only taken one dose of Metrogel, and the smell has gone away. I did however wake up this morning with a large amount of discharge, and I felt like my heart was racing. I have also felt very tired. I plan on finishing the treatment as my doctor has recommended, and also following up with yeast infection treatment, Diflucan, as my doctor has suggest. I really hope this works. I am tired of having these issues! | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 3 | Bacteria Vaginois | Some tingling while taking the meds and clump white discharge 1-2 days following the 5 day treatment | I am so so happy to find this site regarding BV. I have been suffering from BV for about 3 years now and unfortunately all the doc continues to tell me is that it is a pesky recurring infection. Thankfully it is not sexually transmitted but as most of us know aside from the fish odor, it can be very disruptive to your sex life. I have tried everything on the market, Flagyl, Tindamex, Vinegar and Water douche and lastly the Metro gel. I just finished my last dose of Metro last week and I'm now experiencing the white clumpy discharge, similarly to ricotta cheese. I'm so happy you ladies posted since I thought it was possibly a yeast infection which fortunately I do not get often but I had no itch which usually one of the signs. It seems like the white clumpy discharge is a side effect of the gel. Ugh! I'm hoping my problem is finally resolved but it seems to be the symptoms come back after my menstrual cycle. I hope we all can rid this BV once and for all! | F | 34 | 5 days 30 mg 1X day | 12/26/2010 | 3 | BV | Same white, ball-like clumps mentioned by other women. Glad to find a forum where this was discussed. | Please read this post: I developed BV after having a cyst/switching off of a birth control pill. These are some things I wish I had known about. My heart goes out to all of you suffering from BV, and I honestly don't know why women aren't told about these more natural SOLUTIONS, especially for use after antibiotic treatment. (1) Fem-dophilus - absolutely amazing product - you can likely find at a health food store. Cleared up BV once in 2 days without any other treatment. (2)Represh: They now even have a ph regulating tampon, which I am excited to try. (3) Kefir!! Amazing, amazing, amazing. You can get at local health food store. Nancy's brand is by far the best product - (4) Finally, apple cider vinegar bath can help relieve any soreness. Also, is supposed to help regulate ph . . . I HOPE EVEN ONE OF THESE CAN HELP YOU! | F | 22 | 5 days 750 1X day | 12/13/2010 | 3 | BV | Huge brownish white sponge like chunks | Cleared up the smell the first day, but now on day 2 have huge sponge like chunks. Felt sick to my stomach after one came out just from the disgusting factor. | F | 28 | 5 days 1X day | 12/12/2010 |
