| 3 | Dryness,disorientation (not feeling so bright) and slight cramping. I have some discharge but the clumping visibility is more or less isolated to when using the restroom.Also, I am experiencing high sensitivity to the sun. | Just a note: I had a glass of wine with dinner the other day and this medication increased the effects 100 percent. I don't think I would wish the effects I felt from the experience on anyone. It was very frighting! I know it says not to drink but goodness.. every medication says that and it was only a glass of wine. I have several more days of using this drug and to be honest I am not looking forward to it. | F | 26 | 3 days .75 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 3 | bacterial infection | slight itching | I had no symptoms to start with; the infection was discovered during a pap smear. The pamphlet says the vaginal version only cures 57% of cases. I won't know if it worked for another 3 months at the next pap smear. | F | 32 | 3 days | 2/18/2001 | 3 | yes | light cramping,and this clumpy white discharge.ohh and gas ewww! | i just hope it works better than the pill an i know it will give me a yeast infection but i have a fluconazole pill waiting just n case... i just want to be normal again.:( | F | 21 | 3 days .75% 1X day | 9/9/2010 | 3 | Bac infection | F | 22 | 3 days 7.5 | 12/28/2011 | 3 | BV | I have taken this now for 3 days, the infection seems to be gone, but I don't think I am going to take my other 2 doses right now. I am also having the thick, clumpy discharge, and it is usually mixed with what looks like brown clumps of blood. It is time for me to start my period, so I was confused as to whether or not this WAS my period. However, I don't think it is after reading this site. My period is also a day late now, I wonder if taking this can delay it? | M | 29 | 3 days | 10/18/2007 | 3 | BV | Clumpy white/greenish discharge.. Super strange. | Does anyone know if it is ok to stop treatment after only 3 days? Will the infection be gone? | F | 24 | 3 days | 4/15/2009 | 3 | BV | Same results as most. Clumpy whiteish/brownish/pinkish discharge. Vagina has small cuts that do not seem to be going away. Cramps and trouble focusing. | Only on day 3 but the last time I took the medication I did have to clear up a yeast infection that it caused. | F | 22 | 3 days | 6/18/2009 | 3 | BV | At first I didn't think I had side effects. However, today, which is the day after my 3rd use, I feel unusually tired and nauseous. I didn't even think that it could be the meds...but then I read the reviews. Makes sense... | I'm not sure what to think about Metrogel. I didn't experience the strong fishy smell, but I had itching and severe burning during urination. The itching is gone, but the really painful burning during urination is still there. Not sure what to do... I never had BV before, so I'm a bit clueless... 😳 | F | 43 | 3 days 1X day | 1/22/2014 | 3 | BV | I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago. No cervix. This is my first time using this gel and every single time I insert the applicator it comes out with bright red blood on it. But no bloody discharge. So I'm not sure if it from me inserting the plastic applicator or what. I have noticed the clumpy white discharge though and a wierd taste in my mouth no matter how many times I brush I teeth. | F | 36 | 3 days .75mg gel 1X day | 7/13/2021 | 3 | BV | I started bleeding after the use of gel | F | 32 | 3 days 1X day | 1/24/2021 | 2 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge, fleshy colored tissue like discharge accompanied by a small amount of pink discharge. | The specks of tissue looking discharge terrified me because I am 5 weeks pregnant and non of the sites for the medication list this as a side effect but all the pregnancy blogs tell you that's a symptom of miscarriage. So so happy I found this thread. | F | 30 | 3 days 1X day | 9/21/2022 | 2 | I was diagnosed with BV | Before starting the med, I had the burning with urination, a lot of pain in my vagina area as well as itching around it. Day 3, and still NO relief of burning though the odor is gone | I haven't experienced any clumps either but what I do feel is almost like a tear in my vagina idk if it's from my partners size but this has never happened | F | 22 | 3 days .75 | 11/24/2015 | 2 | BV | Stomache ache,dizziness, itching, slight burning in vaginal area in shower | I tried to use the metrogel instead of taking the pill form of antibiotics because of the nasty taste it leaves in my mouth, but only thing the metrogel did was get rid of the odor...here on day 4 now I am noticing white clumpy discharge appearing as a result of using it. Possible yeast infection...& that just added another problem :/ I'll continue to use til day 5 but as of right now I give the metrogel a thumbs down! | F | 21 | 3 days | 9/30/2016 | 2 | BV | i had taken flagyl before and had terrible side effects. i thought i would try metrogel this time since the systemic effects weren't supposed to be the same. the day after i woke up from my 1st night of using it...i had a migraine and a terrible taste in my mouth (like chewing on asprin). i was nauseous and couldn't eat anything almost all day. the next day i felt ok...but the vaginal peeling started...just some small "flakes". on the 3rd day i was in pain...the inside of my vagina was peeling off in large bleeding chunks and causing some bad abdominal cramping. i can't imagine this being helpful at all...so i stopped using it. | the night i stopped using metrogel...i douched with diluted hydrogen peroxide (3T to 2C warm water)to try to remove all the gel and help flush out the bad bacteria (HP is produced by the good bacteria) i decided to try a tampon soaked in some tea tree oil mixed with olive oil. the next morning i felt fine. no itching, no burning, no peeling! i used the tea tree oil 2 more nights and i think i'm all better. i may get one of those vagisil home tests just to see : ) | F | 28 | 3 days | 7/19/2007 | 2 | BV | so far, my symtoms have been obnoxious discharge, burning (the first day) and minor cramps. i am worried now that these symptoms will worsen as i continue treatment. and do i have a retched yeast infection looming? | i'm very angry that the side effects mentioned by so many women have never been explained to me by the doctor prescribing Metrogel. i have taken the oral metronidozole in the past and i don't know which is worse!! it made me feel tired, sick, and nauseated! but the gel is disgusting and has it's own rash of side effects. when i asked my doctor if there was anything else, she said YES, but that it didn't work nearly as well. WHY NOT? why isn't there another option? this is a VERY common infection for women! i'm not expecting a baby, but i feel terrible for those of you who ALSO have to worry about this nasty drug during pregnancy! | F | 28 | 3 days | 1/13/2006 | 2 | BV | Im sooo glad I found this board! I have been fighting BV for about 3 weeks, and COULDNT AFFORD the METROGEL (when you pay for your own meds its like $95.oo!!) Got the RX the day my period started. Normally I cramp for 1 day but I started the gel (figure lets just get the mess over with and phamiscist said it was ok) Got AGONIZING cramps (normal for me on day 1) that are continuing (NOT NORMAL). Motrin barely touched. Im now on Day 4 of the and Im stopping this stuff! Having dark pinkinsh clumps today-last dose I took of gel was yesterday am | Prepare your self to feel MISERABLE while taking it, stomach cramps BAD and stuff coming out of you and a general feeling of not being up to par. If the 3 doses didnt kill the BV Ill just LIVE WITH IT AND LET mother nature take her course! (I can go away on its own if you have a normal immune system!) I had the BV 2 weeks b4 the gel and didnt feel anything close to this miserable!) before ! Still wanting the hideous kicked in the stomach cramps to go away and its NOT DUE TO MY PERIOD I CAN ASSURE YOU! Phamisist did warn me that by taking this stuff its pretty much no holds barred that you WILL get a yeast infection (as this metro is an antibiotic) and to follow it with some Yeast cream etc. Sorry kids, Im eating yogurt and being nicer to my tata (no fabric softner, gentle soap and diet) but Im NOT USING this gel AGAIN-Ugh! Side effects worse than the BV! | F | 42 | 3 days | 12/18/2005 | 1 | Bv | Fatigue, bloating, gas some nausea and very uncomfortable. Veet scared it was something worse but this site helped me out my mind at ease will never use this drug ever again. Don't be scared I'm in the same boat. | F | 37 | 3 days | 9/6/2012 | 1 | BV | debilitating back aches, especially stiffness around the upper back and neck; acid reflux; nausea on day two, and headaches, and fatigue. basically out of commission. that said, i have taken metrogel before and been okay, and this time i made a couple of careless mistakes-- 1) i had a small cup of beer on night 2 and 2) i forgot to take my dose on day 2 and so on day 3 i took one in the morning and one at night. I wasn't clear about what to do when I missed a dose, so this could be the reason why things went down hill. | i am trying to figure out if it makes sense to continue the medicine-- doesn't seem worth it! | F | 29 | 3 days 1X day | 10/6/2010 | 1 | BV | I started experiencing the cottage-cheese-like discharge--very clumpy. Before I was diagnosed, I didn't have any symptoms. My vagina became very sore, raw, and dry. Then, this morning, which is my fourth day of treatment, I woke up with a bad skin rash on the inside of my arms. The pharmacist says that I am probably allergic to the medication and to stop taking it immediately. I hate this medication, it's totally screwed up my body!!! | F | 28 | 3 days | 3/27/2005 | 1 | BV | i had aboustouly no symptoms or probelm i went in for my yearly exam and he put me on this i feel he had no clue what he was talking about about and i felt funny using it but figured i should in case there really was somthing wrong. he told me to use it for 5 day but by the second day i was in such horrible pain i cant belive i used it the thrid day i skipped the fouth and when i woke i was bleeding worse than any period id ever had. i had the white clumps on day one but i figured it was the medicine coming back out. i felt worn out and irritable i felt and i wanted to rip out my uterus and overaies. | to have had no problems prior to metro gel i see no reason why he put me on it this has been one of the worse exprinces of my life and wouldnt recomened this to anyone who didnt feel they aboustly needed it. i just went off it two days ago and i feel as though it my have caused more probelms than anything. | F | 19 | 3 days | 2/26/2007 |
