| 3 | BV | Brown/reddish discharge, alot started day 3 on day 4 and heavy..not due for my period for three days. maybe an early on set? please help. | F | 23 | 4 days | 5/15/2009 | 3 | bv | ive used this medication before and didnt realize the discharge came from the medicine. A second ago o was freeking out because these huge clumps on white discharge was coming out of my vaigina. Im a little tender down there and have a mild odor. | F | 19 | 4 days | 7/26/2012 | 3 | bv | Thank you ladies. I'm sooo glad I found this site. When I noticed the white clumpy discharge I started freaking out. It really is grose. I thought I had a yeast infection but there isn't much itching. The odor is gone so the gel worked but I did experience cramping and headaches. I've been off the gel for 3 days now and and I'm still having the white clumpy discharge and a little bit of craming. Does anyone know how long this will last for?? I really don't want to go to the doctor if I dont have to. I've been hesitant to call and schedule an appointment. | F | 27 | 4 days | 2/3/2012 | 3 | Bv | White and brown tissue paper like discharge. I would recommend using a thin panty liner when you use the gel. | F | 31 | 4 days 5 day gel | 2/1/2012 | 3 | bv | the tissue paper discharge really freaked me out. I wondered what on earth the problem could be this time. I am sick and tired of the constant itching, burning, itching, burning. Has anyone ever been able to get free of this cycle of BV and yeast? | F | 46 | 4 days | 4/3/2006 | 2 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge that looks like tissue, which sometimes was pinkish or reddish. Scared the heck out of me! Glad I found this board! Was ready to run to my OBGYN thinking I might have a massive fungal infection inside of me! My vulva and surrounding areas are dry and irritated and raw. Burning. Have tried this gel previously and this is the first time I am having this scary set of side effects. I read somewhere that it is because of sloughing/erosion of the vaginal cells. I wonder if that is a good thing?! It's really painful and scary. | Side effects should be better described. OBGYNS need to tell their patients about these side effects, or they are going to lose a lot of patients who died of heart attacks seeing this discharge! | F | 30 | 4 days | 7/3/2006 | 2 | bacterial vaginosis | itching went away but i'm experiencing clumpy white discharge with red chunks. it looks like bacon bits or salami bits mixed with the gel and discharge. a huge clump of this discharge came out while i was peeing. definitely scary looking idk if this is normal or not or if i have a yeast infection now? uti? also experienced some stomach cramps. i'm tired of going back to the doctor for this i just want it to be over. | F | 20 | 4 days 1X day | 5/29/2023 | 1 | BV | Fatigue, burning sensation in torso, numb tailbone, bleeding on day 5, extremely red/purple color in vulva creases | I hate this stuff. All antibiotics. Bleeding started at 6 pm on day 5. Didn't take 5th dose. Bright red blood, not uterine, so… my vagina is bleeding?? Bleeding heavily for 27 hours now. Like on a heavy period day. Vagina feels injured/cut/scraped. On-call doc said she'd never heard of bleeding as a side effect. Said to heal the tissues I could use Vaseline or coconut oil. I tried coconut oil but still tons of bleeding. And read that coconut oil prevents clotting. Super concerned, especially because I have a hysterectomy scheduled in 2 weeks for extremely symptomatic fibroids. If this messes up my surgery I'm going to be pissed!!! Because I can't pee or poop normally due to these stupid fibroids. Please email me if anyone figured out a way to stop the bleeding, or how long you bled for. | F | 42 | 4 days 1X day | 4/30/2022 | 1 | Bacterial vaginitis | Dizziness first 2 days. Breast tenderness, sharp abdominal pain like menstrual cramps, and white clumpy discharge. Five day treatment. This morning had excruciating pelvic pain. While urinating clumps has blood on them. Upset about that as I am post menopausal for two years now. Calling doc answering service today. Really don’t want to use the fifth and last dose. | I would not use this stuff! I have not felt right with it since I started! I only had A little pelvic pain and small amount of discharge when I started. Now I have bad cramping and clumpy discharge with some blood in it. I should not have that since I'm done with periods. | F | 48 | 4 days 1X day | 8/23/2020 | 1 | BV | Thank God for this website! I thought a was gonna die! I got so scared when I saw this terrible disscharge. The first few days I just had the white toilet paper-like discharge on the 3rd and 4th day it was brown and red almost looking like pieces of flesh coming out-SCARRY! Is there going to be anything left of my reproductive system after this medicine?? I'm having terrible cramps also, like really bad-a lot worst than a period. I still have one more dose and not sure if I should take it or not, I want the BV to go away but afraid it's doing something even more terrible to my insides. | Can not believe it's not mentioned in side effects or by the OBGYN. Crazy! People can really have a heart attack from seeing this stuff! Any advice anyone? should I take the last dose or not? It's a sunday too-so I can't call the doc to find out. | F | 25 | 4 days | 3/18/2007 | 1 | BV | Bad, painful stomach cramps. Tired. Feverish. Worried. | I didn't realize that a medicine inserted into the vagina could make me feel so bad all over. I feel like I have the flu. I stopped on day 4 and can't continue. I feel miserable. | F | 41 | 4 days | 2/12/2007 | 1 | Infection | Vomiting, headache, white discharge, brown and pink clumps, bloody show, pain, tiredness, irritable, bleeding during and after sex, irritation, inflammation. | Been to hospitals, was told It was an STD- cervicitis.. alot of heartache thinking and NOT trusting my husband when I KNOW he's faithful, all the while it was this medicine!! This medication had me thinking the worst with its side effects! Yet multiple doctors told me differewnt things because oh no, it's NOT the medicine! I was told today, before I found this site and even thought of blaming the medicine, that the blood was me ovulating and the white discharge was that too!!! So glad I found this site, now I dont have to worry! | F | 24 | 4 days | 7/17/2007 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Headache, nausea, my entire body ached & my skin actually hurt to touch it. | I was supposed to take it twice a day for 5 days. By day 2, my entire body ached and even my skin hurt (particularly the bottoms of my feet and the backs of my thighs) to touch it. I also had cramps, headache & nausea. I felt like I had been poisened. I've never had any negative reaction to any other medication before, but this was scary. It has been over a week since I discontinued use of the metrogel, & I am still having residual side effects, though they are slowly subsiding. I am told that this is the only option - we desparately need a new one! | F | 39 | 4 days | 6/5/2007 | 1 | I was told that I have BV from a PAP. | Cottage cheese like discharge. Painful itching and burning! This sucks so bad. Next time I just might keep the odor was just was myself like crazy. I'm in agony because of this medication. Why is it still on the market? Its horrible with a capital H!! I hope this clears up soon. The only differance with me than with everyone I have have read on this board is that I had a complete hysterectomy and I thought I wasn't going to have these problems anymore, Hell I was completely and totally wrong. I will never take this medication ever again! Beware Women!! | Women its not worth the drama!! Find an alternative medication!! | F | 29 | 4 days | 9/5/2009 | 1 | BV | Pain. Racing Heart. Nausea. Bleeding. This isn't right! | I cannot believe that I found this sight my DR told me I had a 2 week early period.This is my second time with it- the first I had no problems with the gel. How this is fDA approved is beyond me- and nothing written on the booklet- CLASS ACTION SUIT- contact me if you think it's ridiculous that nobody is advocating about this very serious issue and putting stop to it. I do not believe women would voluntarily take this if the precautions where there. How is that legal | F | 34 | 4 days | 10/3/2009 | 1 | BV | Abdominal Cramping (very bad..and I have a high tolerance for pain. I couldn't even pull in my abdominal muscles). Lower back pain. White discharge that looks like little pieces of toilet paper. Something mixed with the gel (but white in color) dropped out of my vagina into the toilet..made a huge splash. | Ok, so this medication has yet to clear up any symptoms, actually I have more symptoms than I started out with. I had an odor and some itching to start out with (I thought the itching was an allergic reaction because the hole of my behind itches too). NOW I have itching still in my vagina and behind, but it has spread upward to my labia too, discharge, and hard pain in my abdomen and lower back. I couldn't wait until the weekend was over to call my doctor. I called him today and explained the symptoms, telling him that I may have a worse yeast infection now (I tried to tell him that I still have the itching from BV but he kept interrupting)..he said that the discharge may be some fluids mixed with the gel and that I should immediately stop the gel, take some tylenol and call him wednesday. I'm hesitant about stopping the medication, I will still need something else because the itching is STILL here. Scratching my vagina with my nails is not sanitary and it hurts. | F | 28 | 4 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | BV | OMG! I'm so glad that I found this site because I was ready to go to the doctor because I thought that something was terribly wrong with me. But, after reading all of the other comments I have calmed down. I didn't even think about how these symptoms only started happening after I began my first dose until I stumbled upon this site while I was frantically searching the internet for possible reasons for this brown tissue like substance. It all makes so much sense to me, I used this medicine for 3 days and started having these symptoms but my period was on it's way so I thought that maybe it was because of that. Then while I was on my period the substance stopped but my Doctor had recommeded that I take another dose after my period finished when he prescribed it to me, so I did take another dose on Tuesday and while I was taking a shower Thursday a ball of brown tissue came out and freaked me the hell out again. So, i'm so thankful for the information that you ladies have shared because | F | 27 | 4 days | 3/5/2009 | 1 | I have a chronic garnerrella vaginalis. | Whte discharge like wet toilet paper thru urine. | F | 31 | 4 days 40g | 8/4/2012 | 1 | BV | severe burrning, itching, clumpy discharge 3 days after stopping it. | dr said there was nothing she could do, just apply cold compresses, hydrocortizone cream and wait for it to settle down. it appears im allergic to most the meds used to treat bv, she said she may have to send me to a disease specialist because she has run out of treatment options. is anyone else allergic to the medicines used to treated bv if so what do you use to get rid of it? Please feel free to email me. | F | 40 | 4 days .75% 1X day | 6/22/2011 | 5 | BV | eh. some vaginal sensitivity and itching but VERY mild nothing like a yeast infection and the white clumpiness and brownish stuff [ is suspect cause I just finished my period] | the first day I took it twice morning-night [even though i was prescribed once before bed]- i was anxious to get rid of that fishy odor. the smell is gone and the white clumpiness didnt come till day 3. I had sex with my bf day 2 with a condom and there was no adverse side effects for that | F | 20 | 3 days .75 1X day | 6/11/2011 |
