| 5 | BV | thank god for all of you people here.I've experienced the same problems thick gel-like white,brownish discharge after the first few days.I was soo scared and I'm really young so it was especially worrying but everything seems to be normal again so seems like it worked | F | 17 | 5 days 1X day | 3/26/2011 | 5 | Bv | Icky taste in my mouth, clumpy discharge. (glad I came across this site I was worried). Nauseous in the morning with very dry mouth. Very tired. Feel bloated. Body aches. | Tried to have a glass of wine but it tasted awful after using the gel. | F | 46 | 5 days 75 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 5 | BV | Small amount of cramping and nausea. No discharge whatsoever, none of the gel even came back out. | I never had symptoms of BV just showed up on a pap so i guess i cant really tell if it worked but im still not having any weird issues. | F | 22 | 5 days 30 MG 1X day | 1/2/2011 | 5 | BV | No side effects | Ladies, the stuff coming out of you is NOT a scary discharge. It's the MEDICATION! Where do you think all that gel goes?? Lol. The active ingredients are mixed in the gel & get absorbed into your body, but the gel has to come out! Don't worry! :) | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 5 | BV | F | 21 | 5 days | 9/25/2013 | 5 | BV | My very 1st time using it, I had the metallic taste in my mouth like they said, immediate cramps but it wasn't bad and didn't last long and the creamy, thick almost like cottage cheese come out but that's also normal. Not to worry ladies. I'm satisfied once again. I believe I've taken this 4x already but hopefully it DOES NOT RETURN! | F | 27 | 5 days .75 | 10/17/2013 | 5 | BV | None whatsoever. | I had to take this after the oral version (Flagyl) caused extreme nausea. I had absolutely no side effects from Metrogel. I was a bit nervous after reading all the comments here about women experiencing weird toilet-papery discharge. I had no discharge at all; it seemed like all the medication that wasn't absorbed came out when I urinated first thing in the morning. I also drank wine in moderation while using Metrogel with no reaction although this is discouraged due to the oral version being notorious for horrible, Antabuse-type reactions to alcohol consumption. Overall I highly recommend this drug and will never use Flagyl again. As a side note, I also took probiotics during the course of treatment with Metrogel to counteract the negative effects of the antibiotic, and I plan to continue to take probiotics to avoid any further vaginal infections. | F | 40 | 5 days | 1/16/2010 | 5 | bacterial vaginosis | Horrible large hard white chunks discharge. It was accompanied my my reglular clear, watery discharge. The chunks were huge and hard unlike anything I've seen, very embarassing if you wany to have intercourse. My doctor suggested to douche with viniger/water solution. This worked use 6 housr prior to sex so you don't smell like viniger! Overall this medicine worked extremly well. Much better than the pill form. | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/8/2009 | 5 | BV | None, beyond a little discharge on the 5th day. I didn't encounter any of the other symptoms mentioned here, i.e. odd discharge, burning or dizzyness. The drug seemed to work as advertised. This is the first time I've taken this drug, and really had no adverse side effects. | I took this drug after I was diagnosed with BV. Major symptom was itching and irritation. By day three on Metrogel those symptoms were resolved, and I began to feel much better. I will say that before starting the Metrogel I started taking FemDophilus, took it during my 5 day course, and will continue for at least a couple of weeks. It is supposed to: 1. increase the cure rate of the drug; 2. keep a potential yeast infection away; and 3. rebalance your flora so bv doesn't come back. It has been a week since I finished the last dose and so far so good. | F | 46 | 5 days | 11/23/2009 | 5 | BV | dizziness + increased heart rate with first dose only, clumpy discharge. | I posted on 11/20. I completed the five day course almost a week ago, and all my symptoms are gone. It's great to be back to normal! The creepy white discharge went away a day or two after the final dose. Though, I think finally having sex helped clean it out... I'm also wondering why the pamphlet mentions only "discharge" for the side effects, and not "white clumps." I don't consider discharge and white clumps to be the same thing! | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/27/2009 | 5 | BV | Smelly discharge during sex | I think this cream soothes as I had mild burning sensation. The excess discharge stopped within day 2. I must say that everytime I take the morning after pill I get BV! So look out for that ladies. | F | 28 | 5 days | 5/18/2009 | 5 | bv | I have used this medicine several times in the last few years and yes the white clumping is normal but goes away by the end of treatment. | I love this product. It has always healed my infections with no problems. My DR lets me drink when on it and I have never had any side affects or problems at all. | M | 39 | 5 days | 9/3/2008 | 5 | Bacteria | none | Ive used the metrogel several times due to recurring bacteria which I get about twice a year...I LOVE IT! It gets rid of the odor IMMEDIATELY! The only drawback was the thick white stuff but I only saw that because I had sex (which I wasnt supposed to) but it didnt freak me out because I knew what it was. It never came out as a discharge during the day. And rest assured that after your treatment is over...so are all the symptoms of the bacteria! For the ones telling you not to take the gel...they apparently arent bothered by a smelly cooty! | F | 36 | 5 days | 9/30/2008 | 5 | bv | I am on my last day of using the gel and i havent had any side effects so far. i think its a great product. | the only thing i disliked was the thick white discharge on the 1st-3rd day of using the product. | F | 27 | 5 days | 5/8/2009 | 5 | BV | dark grainy bits & clear discharge (the extra gel leaving my body) | BV cleared up pretty fast. The grainy bits in discharge freaked me out at first because I wasn't expecting it & I couldn't find any info on it until I found this site. Good to know that it's relatively normal, ha. Signs of BV came back soon after quitting the treatment so I picked it back up for a few days. So far so good. SOO glad I found this site! | F | 24 | 5 days | 5/11/2009 | 5 | BV During Pregnancy | White Discharge (The gel leaving my body) and a light brown disharge (The infection leaving my body) | I was terrified of taking this medicine after I read some of the comments about it on this site. But I decided I might as well since I had no other option (the pill made me sick) and I didn't want to go into preterm labor. After the first night I realized I worried about nothing. I didn't get side effects except for the white discharge which everyone was freaking out about, but I with every vaginal cream/gel I've used I've had this. It's normal, what goes up must come down. I also got a light brown disharge which i just basically narrowed down to the infection coming out. It cleared up my BV as far as I can tell so I would recommend it. (= | F | 21 | 5 days | 9/11/2009 | 5 | discharge & very light oder | none I love this medicine! I suffered with this wet feeling all the time and a small ordor that really only i could smell . I had tried everything! now any time i get that i know exactly what to take! | LOVE IT | F | 25 | 5 days | 1/3/2008 | 5 | BV | This works..My odor was gone immediatly..The white discharge is only the metrogel mixing with your own body secretions. Dont worry, its not a yeast infection..Eventually the metro gel white clumps will go away once your body has washed them out..Ladies, your body and vagina has a way of cleaning its self out.. If the clumps bother you that much insert your finger and make a come hither motion and remove the whit clumps yourself.. Or while in the bath tub if you can, suck water into your vagina and push it out, the white clumps will go away as well!! | F | 27 | 5 days | 12/17/2007 | 5 | BV | The first 3 days of the gel I had the wet toilet paper discharge. A lot of it. I could notice the BV (the funky smell) going away by the first day. By the 4th and 5th day the discharge turned into white color egg white looking with some red blobs. Very strange. It looked like an yeast infection, but I had no itching. It went way 2 days after I was finished with the medicine. | I also had some stomach discomfort and headaches. Don't worry about the discharge, it will go away. This gel really works! | F | 26 | 5 days | 10/25/2007 | 5 | BV | the worst side effects was the white clumpy discharge. other than that i love it! this is my third day using the metrogel and i haven't experienced cramps burning or itching. it got rid of that fishy odor right away | it really works! | F | 19 | 5 days | 3/31/2008 |
