| 5 | Bv | Worked well! Had a 5 day dosage and the morning after I had a clumpy reddish brown discharge, I'm 7 weeks pregnant but I think the discharge is clearance of the gel and bacteria. | F | 33 | 4 days 70g | 8/31/2012 | 5 | BV | Very bad cramping, feels like intense menstrual/labor cramps. Feels like my bladder is balled up into a rock hard ball. No bad discharge (yet), just excruciating lower abdominal pain. I've taken Tylenol-3 as well as Darvocet and neither work. | F | 36 | 4 days | 9/24/2006 | 5 | BV | Slimy discharge with large wet yellowish paper-like clumps. | I have used this product in the past and have never experienced anything like this. My doctor did not for warn me that I could have these kind of results. I do feel a little nauseated at times. The smell was gone on day 2, but the discharge started. Thank God for this website. I thought something was HORRIBLY wrong. The manufacturer should enclose these possible side-effects with this product. By the way, you CAN be REINFECTED from your partner. Do a little more research and check with your local health dept. Always remember, if you are not getting the answers you need from your current doctor or the results, change to another one. This is your body and you must take care of it. | F | 33 | 4 days | 12/9/2006 | 4 | BV | Im just finished my metrogel about 2 days ago. I had these chunks that range from gray to white to pink, they look like wet toilet paper. I'm so glad I found this site. I thought something was SERIOUSLY wrong with me, cause it looks like I'm shedding tissue or something. Im glad I'm not the only one that has experienced this. | The metrogel worked well. i noticed douching helps with the wet toilet paper thing. I guess it just gets it all out at once. | F | 21 | 4 days | 4/1/2006 | 4 | BV | I experienced the same as everyone else - the white, clumpy cottage cheese like discharge that had me thinking I had a HORRIBLE yeast infection or an STI - thank god I found this website and now I can sleep! I first noticed it after the 1st night of taking it but today I took out my NuvaRing (which you all should try if you haven't!!!) and the stuff came out in huger clumps (like table spoon sized) Also, if you've had BV my gynocologist was saying it can come back so you might need to take a shot of this stuff once a week - you should ask your doctors about this | F | 24 | 4 days | 6/12/2006 | 4 | BV | Clumpy white discharge, slight abdominal pain, fatigue | I ALSO have the clumpy discharge and I agree that it needs to be listed in the side effects because it freaks a person out. I was pissed at my doctor because I was afraid of getting a yeast infection, that's why she gave me the gel instead of the pill, but after reading this, I feel better. I also want to know more about the interaction with alcohol. I am not going to drink during my five days on it and the additional three, like it says, so hopefully I don't have any "psychotic episodes" when I do have a drink. I am glad to be rid of the smell, hopefully I won't have recurring infections. So far I am satisfied, we'll see how I am doing in another week. | F | 28 | 4 days | 6/13/2006 | 4 | BV | I've used Metro-gel vaginal 0.75% enough in the past 21 years. I'm very sensitive in this area. ANY CHANGE EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST I WOULD GET BV. Every time METRO-GEL has worked. Until last year, I had typical BV symptoms. Went to three different DR's and was tested for everything under the sun..including BV. ALL TESTS RETURNED NEGATIVE. BUT I KNEW THIS ODOR QUITE WELL. SO I ASKED FOR Rx of metro-gel anyway. The pharmaceutical company Walgreens had recently contracted with was Sandoz. I picked up my Rx which was 1×day @ 5 day. I used it for 5 days after day 4, the fishy discharge was still very prominent. So I contacted the Dr and had a new Rx called in to CVS. Got Rx and after 3 days of using the Prasco brand of Metro-gel, odor was all gone and I have had no issues since. Up until recently, I accidentally got some soap a little too far inside my vaginal area and within a couple of days I noticed fishy odor. I knew right away what was going on. I called my Dr had Rx for metro-gel called in. I've been using it for 3 days now out of the 7 and odor is still present. Maybe tonight's dose will get rid of it. | F | 39 | 4 days 7 days | 5/6/2013 | 4 | Cervical Erosion | Initially I experienced the white clumpy discharge like everyone else, but then as my period approached the white clumps were mixed with brown and red 'stuff'. Once my period came, about 4 days into treatment large peices of vaginal tissue were coming out (very scary). Also I did have some intense burning and itching, but that is getting better as the days go on. | Smell was gone within the 1st day, which was a relief b/c I didnt know I had a condition, and just thought that I had a naturally bad odor. So relieved that it is being resolved. Seems to be working if you can get thru the symptoms, but as a medical student I am definately surprised that my doctor, as well as the pharmaceutical information neglected to warn of these side-effects. | F | 25 | 4 days | 1/15/2006 | 4 | BV | This cream really helped with the swelling, and the terrible odor from before being prescribed is completely gone. But I'm now experiencing clumpy white discharge, almost like its little bits of toilet paper. I'm done with the dosage so hopefully the discharge is just a reaction with the medicine and will wear off soon. | F | 18 | 4 days | 2/9/2012 | 4 | BV | The Metrogel helped as soon as I used it on Day 1. I was experiencing very uncomfortable burning prior to meds. I just finished my 5day dose and I noticed the white-tissue paper like discharge. I was relieved to see that this is normal. I'm still stlightly concerned because I've noticed that at different points during the day I still feel a slight burning sensation. I'm hoping this goes away but if not its back to the doc. | F | 21 | 4 days 7.5 | 1/10/2012 | 4 | BV | Back pains, white thick discharge that I could take out with my finger. Helping though, the smell went away. | F | 31 | 4 days | 6/21/2012 | 4 | BV | I had some abdominal/mild cramping and dry mouth. Today is my last day taking it and I've started my cycle...is it ok to continue the last treatment? I use every night before bed for 5 days. | F | 26 | 4 days | 7/21/2012 | 4 | BV | White very clumpy discharge!! Can pull out with finger but should I? Itchy irritation feels better after warm shower. Gas & a little fatigue. | F | 23 | 4 days 0.75% | 6/24/2012 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | I had some fatigue, some mild cramps every now and again, and then TERRIBLE constipation. I also had the thick, white, rubbery discharge. I was worried at first, but now I see it's normal. No YI, or anything except some mild itching towards the end. | F | 17 | 4 days 0.75% | 6/18/2012 | 4 | Bv | This website is a god send! I had the mild cramping and tissue paper discharge- finished w it now- discharge still around but I was freaking out! Sounds like it's normal...thank goodness- can't wait for it to stop so I can have sex w my anxious bf again!!! ;) | F | 30 | 4 days 5 days | 2/10/2012 | 4 | BV | I'm almost done with the metrogel in one more day. I have experienced cramping, burning, UTI symptoms that are severe when urinating. Normal white clear clumping with the red/brown specs by day 3. This all seems to be normal results of the gel working, unless hives rashes or short of breath occur. Use a over the counter itch cream for outside burning and itching if persistent and bothersome. Taking acidophilus while on the medication will decrease the risk of a yeast infection, but if it still remains a prescription for yeast may be administered by your doctor. I would not recommend taking over the counter yeast infection treatments because they can cause the BV to come back. | F | 24 | 4 days | 6/17/2009 | 4 | BV | VERY slight abdominal cramps and discharge | I figured it was the gel coming back out when I saw the discharge but then I saw a really big clump and that freaked me out a bit but glad I saw other comments mentioning the symptom. It would be extremely helpful if this side effect were listed on the paper but whatever. The only thing I want to know is how long is this discharge supposed to last? Someone email me back if you know. Thanks! | F | 20 | 4 days | 6/14/2009 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | worked after first day treatment. had fishy smell and creamy discharge. thought it was a yeast infection but dr gave me diflucan pill amd symptoms did not go away. I'm on my 4th day and all symptoms are gone. no fishy smell or discharge. the only thing I don't like is the discharge from the medicine coming out. very creamy and clumpy kinda like wet tissue paper or glue from a glue stick. can't wait till it all comes out. other than that it works great! | 4 days | 5/4/2009 | 4 | A diagnosis of BV found on a PAP | I didn't know I had BV. My doctor said it looked like I had a bacterial infection when she was doing the PAP smear. After using metrogel on the first night, I experienced nausea. Bad nausea. I experienced this about an hour or so after taking it. It lasted until I fell asleep (I was taking it at night). On the 3rd day I decided to take Bonine about a half hour before I used the metrogel. This eliminated the nausea. If anyone else experiences nausea, try taking Bonine first. Bonine makes you drowsy. However, since I was using the Metrogel at night, this wasn't a problem. Other than nausea, I had no other unpleasant side effects. | I experienced the white clumpy discharge also. My doctor prescribed metrogel and diflucan at the same time. I dont know if this discharge was a yeast infection or not. It didn't seem like one to me, but after I took the diflucan the clumpy discharge started to disapate. I took the diflucan the day after I stopped taking the metrogel. My doctor didn't say when I was supposed to take the diflucan, so I dont know if I was supposed to take it at the same time. | F | 29 | 4 days | 4/4/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Thick, curdy, spongy white discharge. | I don't understand why thick discharge is not mentioned in the literature accompanying this product as something that is expected. It says to contact the doctor if we see this kind of discharge, as if this is some kind of extreme side effect. But from what I can tell, it isn't anything out of the ordinary. I'm glad to read this blog. It helps ease some of the anxiety. I'll contact my doctor tomorrow, but for now, I'm really glad it isn't as major as the literature made it sound. | F | 28 | 4 days | 12/22/2007 |
