| 4 | BV | the same toilet paper, curdy white discharge, which showed during intimacy and wasn't sure if I had a yeast infection on top of it. but since I had no itching, I thought I was loosing my mind. very embarassing situation. this side effect was never listed. I am so glad I found this site - how long does it take to go away and does anyone use anything else to remove the clumps? | F | 49 | 7 days | 6/28/2008 | 4 | BV | Some Nausea (but I'm also pregnant so that kinda comes and goes anyway) White clumpy discharge. | I'm 30 weeks preggers so I was kinda scared when the white chunks were coming out. I was also trying to remember if it happened the first time I used it 3 years ago and I think it did. Icky smell pretty much cleared up on first day but will continue dosing per doc recommendations. Just hoping I don't get a yeast infection like some other ladies mentioned, I've never had one and it would suck. | F | 24 | 7 days 0.75% 1X day | 5/29/2011 | 4 | BV | slight irritation, some stomach discomfort, thick, chunky, globby, white discharge (thank you ladies for posting on this site, I was traumatized by the discharge until I read all your posts, didn't know what was happening!!) | slight exterior irritation, I think from the gel, but odor is gone and i'm not itchy. | F | 46 | 7 days .75 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 3 | OMG!!!! Im sooooooooooooo glad I found this site, because I thought something was wrong with my body. Now I think I have an yeast infection after using this. Dose anyone know what to take cause I have a white thick like paste discharge with itching on my lips of my vajayjay :-). I will not take this Metrogel again NEVER!!!!!! | F | 30 | 7 days 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 3 | reaccuring bv | I freakd. Day one normal day 2 wiped myself saw gel clear discharge off white and string of blood Before taken metro i hardly discharge no smell no itch everything of okay so far just wish i hardly a heads up on the chucky gelly discharge | Not finished yet. I've taken pillz over and over o i hope this works | F | 23 | 7 days .07569 1X day | 4/7/2011 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | Clumpy white discharge, burning, racing heart, blood sugar problems, headache, cramping | I was prescribed the pill first, and finished that course, but the PA added on a week of the gel. I had no problems with the pill, but the racing heart and massive blood sugar swings may kill me. And yet I can't bear going back to Planned Parenthood so soon! I never had the itching or bad smell. I just went in because I was having a lot of pelvic pain... I'm not happy and I don't ever want this to come back. | F | 36 | 7 days 1X day | 2/9/2011 | 3 | BV | Nasty white discharge that looks like ricotta cheese (and LOTS of it). Also pinkish-brown tissue looking discharge. Some stinging sensations that I didn't have before I started the gel. | I - like many others - am so glad to see that the discharge appears to be a common side effect. I took the gel for 7 days and it seemed to work. However, my BV symptom returned a few days later. I had some gel left over so I decided to continue taking it. After reading all of these comments I think I will look for an alternative/more natural solution! I am also breast feeding my two month old son and have seen some websites mention that nursing women should weigh the risks to the infant against the benefits to the mother, but can't find anywhere that lists what the risks to the infant are! Does anyone know? I am totally freaked out and will NEVER take this stuff again. | F | 26 | 7 days 1X day | 2/17/2010 | 3 | BV | Diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps (not too bad) | How many doses before the symptoms go away...like the white discharge? I did my 4th dose last night and still have the junk! | F | 38 | 7 days 0.75% 1X day | 6/21/2010 | 3 | BV | I saw that everyone had the clumpy disscharge that I also had. I talk to my dr and I said "was it supposed to make me itchy?" the first the she asked was "did you have white clumpy disscharge" i replied "yes" and she so ohh if you had that clumpy disscharge then you didnt have BV you actually had a yeast infection. so all of you guys were prob prescribed the wrong treatment. | it made me itchy and I had white clumpy discharge. | F | 20 | 7 days 1X W | 6/28/2010 | 3 | BV | JUST STARTED TAKING METROGEL SUNDAY.....IM STARTING TO FEEL BETTER BUT GOD KNOWS THE ITCHING AND RAW FEELING IN MY VAGINAL AREA IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!UUUUGH.....THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I FOUND THIS SITE....NEED TO ASK MY DOCTOR WHAT SHOULD I TAKE FOR THE ITCHING....ALSO I HAVE TAKEN THIS BEFORE THE FIRST TIME WAS WORSE I HAD BLEEDING.....BUT IT CURED THE INFECTION......... | WOULDNT TAKE IT AGAIN AFTER THIS TWICE IS ENOUGH | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/31/2007 | 3 | BV. 24 weeks pregnant | After the second day there was a disgusting cottage cheese looking discharge. No odor. But still nasty. Also very itchy down there because of it. Might be allergic. 24 weeks pregnant | F | 20 | 7 days 5 | 10/17/2013 | 3 | BV | I am a pharmacist and I almost got a heart attack when I saw that | Be more thorough on your side effect profile | F | 30 | 7 days | 3/11/2005 | 3 | BV 12 weeks pregnent | Very little discharge, soreness | I went to the doctor three times for what I thought was a UTI but all tests came up negative. I was having the worst bladder pain and vaginal pain! They tested me again and said I had BV. They put me on Flagyl at first but it gave me the worst anxiety!!! DON"T take that stuff! Now Iam on Metrogel. Nurse told me it wouldn't cause a Yeast Infection but....I don't think she knows her ass from her foot! I am on the 4th day of treatment and still have mild pain. Don't know if its getting any better??? I am also hoping this is SAFE for my unborn baby. I would really like to enjoy my pregnancy!!? | F | 23 | 7 days | 1/8/2007 | 3 | BV | Currently on day 2, woke up in the middle of the night. With severe cramps, I thought I was bleeding but wasn't. It was cramping pain like I couldn't even pee, I can barely lay down. I might stop using. No discharge just the clear gel coming out throughout the day. | F | 22 | 7 days 70g 1X day | 10/8/2020 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Im not sexually active and I've been having reoccurring BV infections, took the pill at first and it seemed to help, but it came right back. Doc switch to gel and I'm on my first refill, have it again. Both times I had pelvic pains and cramps and I haven't had a period for awhile now, but I'm getting purple discharge that I have a sneaky suspicion is blood and I don't know whether I hurt myself with the applicator or having another scanty period. I've been trying to stay hydrated, I drink a soft drink a day along with 3 or 4 bottled waters but I'm not urinating as much as I usually do and there is a slight burn that lasts for a few minutes after I urinate. The first time taking this medicine I wasn't surprised when I saw the cottage-cheese-like stuff but I was concerned when I passed a green, membrane-like clump/clot with blood on the surface. I had no other issues with bleeding until today. | It does seem to help the symptoms go away, but both it and the pill can only keep the infections at bay for a few days. I don't want to have to continue using this product, the uncomfort outweighs the short feeling of relief for the days afterward. I think I'll be making another appointment to see what we can do for me long-term since this won't let up. Please feel free to contact me if you know more about my symptoms and this product. | F | 15 | 7 days | 2/27/2017 | 2 | BV | Burning, itching, swelling, bumps, dryness, vaginal pain, cramps, overall uncomfortable | I took it for five days after finding out I had BV. I didn't have symptoms except for some itching and stomach cramps. After five days I was still not better so my doctor told me to do it for another 10 days. By the third day of taking it again, I felt so much worse. I had redness, itching, tightness, dryness like sandpaper (no discharge), some swelling, tenderness, and pelvic pain. So I stopped using it. Just found it weird that I didn't really have side effects till taking it again. I tried taking oral antibiotic but had really bad intestinal side effects. My doctor is now going to prescribe me with some lactic acid/bacterial supplement thing from a compounding pharmacy. Fingers crossed this works. I've been dealing with BV issues for an entire month. | F | 23 | 7 days 1X day | 4/30/2017 | 2 | BV infection | Started my period on third day of Metro Gel. Period was gross. Had dark brown flakes towards end of period. I was also on antibiotics for a rash which gave me a YI. Now I am three days out from last dose and have had two days of severe abdominal cramps, lower back pain shooting into my legs. Brown, pink and spotted fleshy discharge when I use toilet and also on panties. Its awful | F | 34 | 7 days | 9/22/2014 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Mild Vaginal Irritation, Clumpy White Discharge | I was prescribed this for bacterial vaginosis that I didnt even know I had but tested positive for at my OB from a swab. I apparently had light discharge I didnt know about but never had any odor or anything. They prescribed me 7 days, 1 applicator full 1x a day at bedtime. I had mild vaginal irritation inside the vagina & lots of thick white (toilet paper looking) discharge. My OB told me the discharge was normal & from the gel, it was not a yeast infection. However, the medicine did not treat my BV. The discharge lasted 3 days after my last dose. I was still experiencing vaginal irritation so I went back to OB who swabbed me and I still had BV. So they prescribed me vaginal clindamycin cream. I cant say I would take this again because it didnt clear up the bacteria infection. I gave 2 stars only because the side effects weren’t bad - I didnt have burning or stinging. I also didnt get a yeast infection because the 2nd swab they did showed no candidas. The irritation I had I believe was from vagina dryness from the medication. | F | 36 | 7 days 37.5 1X day | 7/10/2021 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | It has been horrible. A Yeast Infection. Mild abdominal cramps, just feeling crappy. Cottage Cheese like discharge, yellowish white. | F | 40 | 7 days | 2/6/2006 | 2 | taking Flagyl for a Bact. Infect. | I am going nuts from the vaginal itching -- I mean the raw feeling that you guys are talking about -- I am totally experiencing that -- I thought something was really wrong with me -- until two women that I know said they had the same problem -- ITCHING so bad that they felt they could not go out in public at times -- Only 3 more doses -- I will never take this crap again | F | 28 | 7 days | 8/26/2007 |
