 5  BV sleepiness, slight cramping, irritability? got rid of the smell immediately as well as any strange sensations i felt down there. the morning following my second dosage i experienced the medicine coming out with what looked like white clumps in them. i didnt think this was a bad thing though, after all, the body isnt going to absorb all of that &i still felt no odor, pain or strangeness as it happened. reading the rest of the reviews also helped to rule that out as a side effect. all in all, im happy that i was prescribed this. its easy to manage and doesnt interfere with life too badly [although im not sure to attribute most side effects to the depo shot. i received it the same day i started metro gel so who knows?] F 20 3 days

 5  Bacterial infection Bloating, minor headache, clumpy white discharge post-sex I didn't know I even had an infection until I went in for my pap and my doctor said I had some discharge, so she prescribed me this. I'm on day three of five and it seems like it's going well. I haven't had any major discharge or discomfort. The only problem I had is that I had sex with my husband and I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to. Not sure how that's going to affect the treatment, but it still feels fine down there, the only thing was that some chunky white discharge was transferred onto my husband post sex. Overall its been easy to use and doesn't leak! F 29 3 days

 5  BV The MOST disturbing, chunky white clumps when I wipe. Nobody should have to witness this nastiness coming out of them. I thought I had a really bad case of BV...or something more serious. FYI, the doc said I can have sex WITH a condom... Sex was painful...doc told me I had BV. I just want it to go away so i can have sex again. F 24 3 days

 5  BV White clumpy discharge. But I think it's normal what goes up must come down, I think the white clumpy discharge is the gel coming out in that form. I have experience it after 48 hrs of using the gel my sent was gone just after 1 day of using this. F 35 3 days

 5  BV Lord I'm glad I found this site!! I am the worrier of all worriers! The metrogel is a great product and it cleared up my symptoms like the first day. I did it twice a day for 3 days instead of once a day for 5 days. Afraid my period was on its way. Soo anyway...like the second or third day I wnt to examine myslf with my finger to find some white/greyish red like discharge!!!!!!!!! I almst lost it!!!! Its like clumpy and stringy a bit too!!! Looks like its mixed with a lil blood.. How gross is tht...All my symptoms have gone away tho! Its been 2 days since my last dose and I still see the discharge. I want to have sex but too embarrassed too!! Whn will this discharge go away?? O yes also been feeling nausea for the past 2 days...I'm soooo happy to have found this site other wise I would have lst it. I feel mch better! I wish I was told I was gonna be getting that disgusting discharge!!! I usually take Cleocin which works fabulous! But since I have no insurance the Metro-gel was cheaper. F 25 3 days

 4  BV Clumpy white cottage cheese like discharge occasional burning or itching the discharge was the worst part I think the discharge is gross I use a hand held shower head and rinse it out. I was very nervous when I first saw it but I was reassured it's normal. I'm going to look in the health food store and see if they have anything to treat it in case it comes back F 23 3 days

 4  BV The side effects are terrible...none that I experienced with the oral pills. But - the oral pills didn't work completely, and with only my first treatment of the gel, the terrible itch is gone. After my second dose I experienced the "dizziness" or a general "out of body feeling" with the shakes. Also, I am constipated and in general my whole underside hurts, especially my pooter. Most symptoms were the most extreme after the second dose. Today, after my third, the vaginal burning isn't as bad, but everything still hurts. I have not experienced any white discharge...yet. I thought I could have been pregnant (I just started my period today so I am not) and mentioned this to my doctor when calling for a prescription. The nurse said this is perfectly safe. After reading some other comments from this site, and from more detailed websites on how the drug is thought to work, I wouldn't use this medication if I were. F 37 3 days

 4  BV I had this terrible itch and a smelly discharge went to the my gyn and was told I had bv give metro gel in a pill form and one pill for yeast infection and some cream. Today was the first day I notice the thick discharge and when I found out it's was a normal side effect, I was relieve. Also my partner had to use the cream because he was irritrate as well. My question to anyone when can I resume sexual relation? Also what is the risk of this coming back if we do not use a condom. This is my first time ever having a BV. Help anyone. F 35 3 days

 4  BV I am very intune with my body. I didn't know that I had BV I thought that I had a STI, however it wasn't a STI it was BV and the doctor prescribed Metrogel-Vaginal to me. So I used it and as always check my self down there because i'm using something new you know and I have to know whats goning on with my body. I must have had a herat attack lyin on that bed looking in the mirror down there. Ther was this white chunky stuff that scsared the life out of my for a few seconds. The min I got to work I looked on the internet and immediately found this site and was relieved. I thought I for sure was "Diseased". Thank you for the tips every one. F 18 3 days

 4  BV White tissue paper like and stringy light pink discharges. I had gone to the gyno and I mentioned a fishy odor I had noticed. She said I had BV that was just starting and perscribed me the metrogel. It cleared up my issues so far. I was concerned about the "do not drink alcohol while taking this medication label". I decided to test it out. I had several glasses of wine. The only thing I noticed was a few fleeting instances of slight nausea. Nothing too bad for me but everyone is different! F 23 3 days
