| 2 | BV | White clumps and discharge | So glad I came on here. Thought i got a yeast infection from the metrogel but apparently it's normal. I feel heavy discharge and lots of white clumps. When i put my finger up my vag (sorry) my finger is covered in the white clumpy things. I coulda sworn it was yeast. I took the flaygl for 7 days and then like 3 weeks later, BV came back so I tried metrogel this time. How long til the white clumps and discharge goes away??? | F | 28 | 5 days 2X day | 10/17/2011 | 2 | BV | Bleeding, white clumpy discharge, cramping | I'm glad that I found this website. It really is a comfort knowing that you're not alone out there. I got 3 days into using the gel before I started bleeding. I've discontinued use because it's rather unnerving, but it's 3 days later and the bleeding has continued. It started as a very mild amount the first day and I've had lots of that disgusting tissuey discharge. The bleeding might possibly have to do with my IUD? There's no sign of BV anymore, but I really hope that the rest of this sh*t stops soon because I'm starting to freak out. | F | 27 | 5 days 1X day | 11/26/2011 | 2 | bv | discharge like tapioca, also fleshy looking bits the chunky discharge does not flow out. my dr. said DO NOT douche, but how will the discharge ever get out? | F | 38 | 5 days | 8/14/2006 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginal Infection | Lumpy discharge that was gel-like (like the medication) but it had some creamy white coloring to it. Within 2 days, I saw bit of pink fleshy looking stuff in with that discharge. Around that same timeframe, I developed painful abdominal cramps, diarreha,nausea, and chills (like a flue). I am not sure if it's related, but after reading this I am more suspicious. I stopped taking the medication after the third dose because it was scared. I am still nausious, few cramps, but the discharge has no more pink - 3 days after discontinuing use. | I will probably call the docter today and find out if this was all related. I don't feel comfortable useing this drug again. | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/28/2005 | 2 | BV | White Clumpy Discharge, Cramps like menstrual cramps but they are NOT! | Thank GOD I found this site. I've been taking metrogel and have had the white clumpy discharge and was FREAKING out. I thought to myself, "What the hell is this?" I didn't know if it was working or not, but turns out now I know it is a side effect of this medicine. It is incredibly annoying. I cannot have sex, I cannot NOT wear a pad, feeling so uncomfortable and it looks exactly like the wet toilet paper and ricotta cheese. Ugh. Just awful. | F | 23 | 5 days 1X day | 10/28/2012 | 1 | BV | I Also have the wet tissue discharge that is stuck in the vaginal area. | I have been off the treatment for 3 days, and am getting ready to travel. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG THE WHITE KRAP WILL BE THERE???????????? PLEASE LET ME KNOW... YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT [email protected] THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE! (Find another option for BV you will be thankfull!) | F | 32 | 5 days | 1/30/2006 | 1 | Bacterial vaginal infection | I started getting tingling in my fingers after 2nd day. After 4 days my legs from ankles up were feeling numb and tingling all the time. I didn't know this was a side effect until I read about it on line. I have been off the medicine for 2 days and I'm still feeling the tingling in my legs. When will it stop. How can I get all of the med out of my body? I will never take this drug again. | F | 68 | 5 days 7.5 MG 1X day | 4/26/2012 | 1 | BV | burning while urinating, tiredness, depressed, tingling alot of tinglin | I was diagnosed with BV on March 18, 2011 went to urgent care they thought it was a UTI so they gave me antibiotics for 7 days, well after 7 days my symptoms were still there, pain after urination etc. I went back to urgent care and this time they checked down there and tested the discharge they found BV so they prescribed MetroGel and and they gave me a pink pill for the yeast infeciton just in case it caused a yeast infection. I took the pill and inserted that gel one a night. I had clumpy white cottage cheese stuff every morning. And every time I would urinate it would hurt right after. I also noticed alot of tingling down there..it's hard to explain. It's now July 26 and I still have tingling and pain right after I urinate, the pain wont go away so easily either it just lags and stays there for awhile...I've been to a urulogist and they said I have nothing wrong with my bladder or urethra they didn't find any bacteria or white cells in my urine. They are now referring me to a Gyno...I'm so tired of this...my pain is still there when I urinate and so is that annoying tingling, kind of like chills down there and I feel like I still have something. The doctor has checked down there and no bacteria the BV is gone but i dont know if the gel burned or made me really sensitive even to my own urine. I haven't been sexually active since March when they first diagnosed the BV now just thinking about doing it with my fiancee is painful.. | F | 33 | 5 days 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 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 | MILD Gardnerella | Doc gave me metrogel vaginal gel after a routine pap showed low levels of Gardnerella. I was having no symptoms, but decided to take metrogel as she prescribed. What a nightmare! Day 3 I ended up in the ER by ambulance. I was admitted for reoccurring syncope (fainting/blackouts), low blood pressure 83/74), cramping, and headache, all side-effects of metro-gel. Doc said so many people have a bad reaction to Flagyl (an ingredient in metro-gel). I suggest trying ANY other remedy, either natural or prescribed before taking this. It was just horrible, messy, and caused a yeast infection to top it all off. | Beware! Read the paper that comes inside the medication box. Know the signs of allergic reaction and side-effects. DO NOT drive while on this. Many people have syncope, as I did, and can wreck their car or worst. | F | 29 | 5 days 1X day | 12/4/2010 | 1 | BV | Passed out, faint, dizzy, abdominal pain. | I was prescribed this since the oral version of Flagyl almost sent me to the ER due to its side effects. I was assured the gel form works differently and the side effects weren't as bad; however I was still hesitant about taking it. Turns out I had a right to be. I woke up the first morning after using it, walked into the bathroom, blacked out and collapsed on the floor. My bf said he wouldn't have believed me if he hadn't seen it. It took me 20 minutes of laying on the bathroom floor before I could even get to bed. After laying around I felt okay enough to work in the afternoon but was still dizzy and faint all day. This stuff is poison for me, in any form. If you're allergic to the oral Flagyl, beware you might be just as allergic to this. I've been prescribed Clindamycin now. We'll see how that goes. I'm tempted to just let the BV resolve itself since I have no symptoms (found out on a pap), but the doc says I can't because said pap was also abnormal. Ugh. | F | 28 | 5 days 1X day | 3/2/2011 | 1 | BV | Just excess discharge when wiping after using restroom. | It has not even been a full week after finishing the gel and the BV has returned.I will now use the remainder of the tube but i highly doubt it's going to cure this.What a let down. | F | 46 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Heart racing, lose of appetite, nausea, sickness bad, white clumpy discharge- kind of like wet toilet paper | I hate this stuff!!! I took it for the 5 days but the first dose scared me bad. I took it and thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest.I finished taking the medicine and I started the new symptom of white clumpy discharge(like wet toilet paper). I did some research and it freaked me out because it kept saying STD and I started thinking my husband cheated on me until I found this site. Thank You all for easing my mind. Now I know that it is a side effect and not to worry. When should I expect these symptoms to go away? | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 1 | BV | BURNING, SWELLING, WATERY DISCHARGE(AFTER THE CLUMPY AND STOPPED TREATMENT), PAIN WITH URINATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, OUT OF IT, FEVER, CHILLS, TIRED. I have taken both the pill and the gel before and not too bad of issues. This is the only time I went to the docs with Minor smell and even the PH strip showed normal. The doc took it to the microscope came back said she saw BV. Im thinking the BV wasnt that serious to be on such a strong antibiotic. I have follow up tomorrow. I stopped meds after 4th day I am on 4 day without it and STILL burning with urination(not UTI) No yeast(took meds) swollen and HELLA WATERY DISCHARGE. Its scary. | I wont do this again. They need to create something else that works. This stuff sucks | F | 28 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 6/28/2010 | 1 | bv | at first the gel was working until i had my cycle....then after my cycle went off there gose the awful smell againg i took this stuff for 5 days with the flagyl pill this never happens...i paid 70.00 for this bs! | i will never take or recommend this product to anyone!!!a waist of money and time! i know they can come up with a cure for this | F | 28 | 5 days 75mg 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 1 | BV | OMG, nasty white toilet-tissue looking stuff that came out along with excess gel on 3rd day. ew ew ew. Im glad I found this blog/site. I hope that white stuff goes away soon | Im glad I found this blog/site. I got a pill once to treat it, no side effects. now i moved to richmond and they gave me this gel. i dnt like it at all. | F | 19 | 5 days 5 grms 1X day | 3/1/2010 | 1 | BV | This medicine did not work at all. It actually made my BV WORSE after I went through the pain and nausea taking this medicine for almost a week. | I will have to move to the pill to treat my infection. My mother even told me that the gel does not work. | F | 19 | 5 days 1X day | 3/29/2010 Patient History | 1 | BV | Very, very sick. The day after I inserted the first dose, extreme nausea, abdominal pain, bloating and gas, body aches, chills. I thought I had a virus, but I had no fever. Extreme fatigue, nausea and bloating continued. I just took dose 4 last night and awoke completely ill once again. I CANNOT EAT AT ALL. | This drug is making me so very sick. I wish I had gone on this site last night before I took the dose. Now I have another day at least of being so ill. I NEVER lose my appetite and eat all day long usually. I cannot tolerate food in my mouth or stomach. I am choking down my coffee. Intense nausea, out of control flatulance and bloating, fatigue, head ache, body aches, abdominal PAIN.....this is CRAZY! I have never had such a intense side effects to any medication. I thought I was dying at first until I checked this site. I have taken the pills before and did not have this effect. I do not drink. I am in so much abdominal pain, burning cramping stomach. I will not take the next dose or any dose of this ever again. I am shocked that a vaginal suppository is making my whole body so very sick. | M | 49 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | was pregnant 25 weeks and caused fetal demise | i was 25 weeks pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy until i was prescribed metro gel for a yeast infection. i did not have a bacteria infection. started medicine on sunday and fifth night wasthursday. my baby died in me friday morning by 9am. if pregnant, do not take this medicine. it killed my baby!!!!!!!!if anyone else has had any experience like mine, please email me. | F | 36 | 5 days | 9/16/2009 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Two days after taking metrogel, I had a mutant yeast infection which took months to clear. It turned into Vulvar Vestibulitis, similar to another reviewer below. This is chronic pain in the vestibule of the vulva, which prevented me from having intercourse or using tampons. It took me two years to get diagnosed (most doctors couldn't find what is wrong with me) and after one year of physical therapy, I have a somewhat healthy vagina. | F | 32 | 5 days | 6/7/2009 |
