 3  BV Ive had BV twice in one month. I took the oral pills for the first time i was diagnosed w Bv and it worked well but two weeks later i have a small trace of BV left. I took my first dose last night and woke up with slight discomfort. I took the second dose this morning (im prescribed twice a day) and experienced intense burning after applying it. The burning has calmed down quite a but after 15mins. I still have odor today too, hopefully this clears up soon. This is becoming such a recurring problem for me, im starting to think my BF PH balance throws mine off because i get a smell after he ejaculates and it seems to be turning into BV. Im glad to gave found this website it has made me feel better about this problem. Has it taken a couple days for the smell to go away for anyone else? F 29 5 days

 2  Bacteria Infection I am taking Metronidazole vaginal gel 75%. I have been on depo birthcontrol shot for nearly 2 years, and have no period. I did not get my 3 month shot in December. So my period has not came back, which is common due to the shot still being in my system. I got prescribed this medication, and evidently it has made my period come. Day1: SEVER CRAMPING for over 6 hours. Blood clotting and brownish blood lining by the end of the day. Called Dr. after 6 hours of cramping, he said it sounded like my period is coming. Well... there was no sight or hint of my period before taking this medication. They want me to come in for vaginal exam and stop meds. Day 2: After discovery of clotting and blood, figured it was period as he stated so I continued meds and didn't go to Dr. this morning. Thought possibly that it would be over due to long slimy like clotting coming out night before, but no. I am in sever pain as I type. I have taken a narco pain pill and my uterus is still k I take meds at night before laying down, and in morning before I wake up to go to work. I do not experience cramping at night or when I wake up, only after my second dose in the morning. F 31 5 days

 2  BV Tiredness Spotting Random stomach aches Increased appetite During my use of this gel, I noticed the smell was gone after two days of usage, also I noticed some white discharge during my use of this gel. Immediately after my five day application of the gel, the smell returned and the bv discharge also returned. And on the third day, after use, I started noticing spotting along with the foul smell AND excessive discharge. I still don't understand what's happening. F 17 5 days

 2  BV Horrible nausea after insertion, tissue like discharge, random streaks of blood in discharge, dizziness. This medicine DOES clear up BV but the side effects at least for me out weigh benefits. I will not take this again. F 26 5 days

 2  Bv I have had bv in the past and I didn't do too well with the metronidazole pills so I switched to the gel for 5 days before bed. the first 2 days white clumpy discharge, frequent urination. on day 5 I noticed burning sensation and sharp pain in lower stomach I've also had clumps of like rubbery clots come out of me. The gel was more convenient for me because it didn't cause the side effects the pill did but I'm second guessing the gel now as well. F 24 5 days

 2  BV I was Dx at 20-21 i think? Have had it since, terribly depressing. There appears to be no cure, just "maintenance"ť. Im always embarrassed for intimacy with my man to be blunt lol but he is understanding we keep wipes everywhere. I do feel my confidence in my V-Queen is none at this point, makes me feel broken/insufficient. Clumpy discharge,Change from white-red will always happen. I always insert gel immediately after sex. Strangely, i will literally go into my period after 5 days use. I also have PCOS so its hard to know which is the cause. Cramping i get here and there. I hate it lol id love an actual cure. But its all i have to treat myself when i have an infection. Doctors dont appear to know what else to do. If anyone has had a cure-PLEASE SHARE! F 23 5 days

 2  BV Cramping, clumpy discharge, bleeding I was told there would be white clumpy discharge but I was not told about the bleeding nor do I see it listed as a side effect anywhere on the box or insert. Bleeding has only gotten heavier as the days go by and is very dark almost like old blood. I was not bleeding prior to using it. Just had a baby and got BV while still healing. Only had some irritation and yellow discharge. Not sure why bleeding isn't listed as a side defect since so many women experience it. What exactly does the gel do? It's almost as though it's “clearing” out the bacteria by making your uterine wall shed. I don't think I would use this again. F 26 5 days
