 3  BV Cottage cheese, I find it was closer to the wet toilet paper shnivels, until I found a huge clump. I was completely scared. I'm also administering a drug to myself for a UTI, I was dead frightened this was a side effect of that. Doesn't help that I'm pregnant and don't trust my body with most drugs- prescribed or not. I don't seem to be the type to often gets medicinal side effects, so it's day three and all I've had so far is cheese. Whew... I say you should apply this stuff only if you NEED it. It's grody and the applicators I was given don't have a tapered end, so inserting them into an already irritated and wounded feeling vagina isn't quite the best feeling one could have. F 20 5 days

 3  possible BV Same clumpy discharge. Finished day 5 of 1 dose per day last night. Experiencing burning and slight inflammation. Hoping that will go away. Am very prone to yeast infections, and am planning to call doctor on Monday if this redness and burning doesn't go away. Treated twice OTC for yeast infection. Went to dr., who said yeast not present and abnormal bacteria not present, but redness and inflammation present. she prescribed 3 200 MG diflucan pills for yeast infection, said to call back if still ill. Called back and was prescribed metrogel. F 34 5 days

 3  Unspecifed Bacterial Infection I too got the clumpy discharge. it was weird and at first thought it was a YI. It went away after use. No other side effects. Thankfully! Metro-gel worked somewhat. It is 5 days later and i still have some symptoms. most are gone but i can feel them returning. I used it for 5 days, once a day. Am thinking that it might have done me good to use it for longer. I am still experiencing a white thick disharge but it is turning clearer than during use. Some burning has returned. itchy insideness. I have been dealing with it for almost 2 months! so, i feel everyones pain. I actually think i got the infection from using clinesse without actually having BV. F 27 5 days

 3  BV I'm not too sure this medication is as effective as it may seem. I have finished using the medication for a week. I still have vaginal irritation and vular sensitivity. I'm a little annoyed because my vagina is so dry and sex is unenjoyable for me and my mate. F 29 5 days

 3  BV I had cramps and lots of burning and itching. What was the worst was the fact that I got this bv crap from taking antibiotics for something else. Well I had to go back to the dr for a upper respiratory thing and got more antibiotics and my bv came back. So I got back on metrogel and now have a yeast infection from the metrogel. So now I am taking a yeast treatment. I had the weird discharge but not as bad as some on this message board. I think metrogel should list the discharge as a side effect on the instructions because it is very scary. Also if you take on your cycle it makes your period weird almost like sand. I hope I don't have a bv again. I am going in next week for a rechek to make sure its cleared up. M 30 5 days

 3  VB I drink so I was nauseous as hell. I used the Metrogel, then did the Monistat (I guess from what I read here which has been great to hear others experiencing the same since I thought my cooch was rotting or something). Anyway how the heck do you know when it's gone? I did the metro gel the previous week, then the monistat last week, I'm still yellowishy texturized discharging. When do you know its gone & would you say this is normal to experience stuff for a little while after you've taken the meds? F 30 5 days

 3  Bacterial Infection There's a lot of discomfort in my lower abdominal area. I hate being at work like this. I just want to lay down. I am going to try to take it the etire time. I usually take Fagel for my BV but she recommended Metrogel this time... F 26 5 days

 3  BV The first night I took it, I felt like it was working. 2-3 days later, the snot like substance discharge turned into that wet toilet paper. I thought it was from me wipping too much. Glad I'm not alone. I took my last dosage today. My lips are inflamed! Soap has become my enemy. How long do the clumps last? I feel even more insecure than before! I too fished..and found a MOUND F 31 5 days

 3  BI First I started out with symptoms that I had a yeast infection. When suddenly my symptoms got worst and my vagina felt raw, itchy and very sensitive. I went to gyno, i'm having some tests run which i'm getting tomorrow, but she prescribed metrogel for the time being. So far i've noticed the smell less than before. But the itching and burning and raw feel feels worst and yesterday was my last dosage. IT SUCKS! So far I haven't experienced any weird cottage cheese/toilet paper symptoms. I hope I don't get that! But my vagina is burning up! F 29 5 days

 3  BV It made my vaginal skin a little itchy and irritated...I hope this is just the gel and that my infection is indead gone. My doc looked under the microscope and said I looked better. I did not experience the white toilet paper discharge everyone is talking about. The gel just came out and looked exactly as it did when I put it in. F 24 5 days

 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

 3  bacterial vaginosis/yeast infection Lower stomach discomfort, loose bowels, slimy blobs show up on the feces, burning and slight pain on urination, itching and hives. Hopefully it is gone and I won't have to use it again. There must be a better way to cure BV. F 66 5 days

 3  BV I definately experinced the white clumpys but i knew that was going to happen figuring it was the infection working its way out. other than that i was glad to hear that other people cramped because i did too, i also just feel irritated. i just took my 5th dose of the metro gel. i have noticed a significant decrease in the discharge and irritation that i had before starting the meds. however, i want to know if anyone else feels just irritated and raw and when will this go away? something just doesnt feel right. has any one else felt this way, and when will it go away?? F 24 5 days

 3  BV After finishing the five days I developed pain, burning, itching, tons of white cottage cheese like discharge and was freaked out! I didn't know what was wrong with me until I found this site and read all of the other comments similar to my results. I had no symptoms, it was discovered as a result of a routine pap and I was scared to death! I didn't know if it was an STD or what. Imagined the worst and didn't have anyone to talk to. 47 5 days

 3  BV Itching like never before!!! White clumpy discharge that occured after taking the gel...sort of like wet toilet paper, as stated before. I am very irritated and dry around my private area. I think I may have developed a yeast infection. Did I mention I now have vaginal dryness? BUT, the odor is gone. F 30 5 days
