| 4 | bV abd yest infection | 3rd day taking it and see do much improvement. Just a little dischage but that's just because its cleaning out all the bad stuff...drink plenty water. . | F | 3 days 075 | 5/10/2013 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | worked after first day treatment. had fishy smell and creamy discharge. thought it was a yeast infection but dr gave me diflucan pill amd symptoms did not go away. I'm on my 4th day and all symptoms are gone. no fishy smell or discharge. the only thing I don't like is the discharge from the medicine coming out. very creamy and clumpy kinda like wet tissue paper or glue from a glue stick. can't wait till it all comes out. other than that it works great! | 4 days | 5/4/2009 | 3 | | 1/21/2007 | 3 | BV | Clumpy white discharge, cramping, nausea, fatigue. | I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and my doctor prescribed me this stuff. The clumpy discharge didnt appear till day 4, but scared me because I was concerned for the baby. I read it was normal though, i feel queasy often. Hoping this doesnt have any effects on my baby..I feel him kick alot, but I also have been cramping way more than usual. | F | 5 days .75 1X D | 6/3/2013 | 2 | BV | I have used it befoore with no side effects. This time around is no where near the same. I now am experiencing large amounts of white, clumpy discharge, dark colored stools and a burning sensation ....I no these are all noted side effects to this location...but its kind of freaking me out...I will be contacting my Dr is it continues. | 1 days | 3/14/2012 | 1 | Infection | HORRIBLE!! Took only 2 doses and was in excrutiating pain. I was completely raw. | F | 2 days | 3/31/2005 | 1 | BV? | Gross, glittery discharge at random times during the day. Vulvodynia for the past 10 years. Spasms (seizures?!) in upper thighs. Pain. | I think this caused my vulvodynia! I've been to too many doctors to count, and still the burning doesn't go away. My first problem occured from a traumatic sexual encounter and was mainly bladder pain. After taking this and then having to take yeast meds, I developed severe burning and weird discharge. Doctors then decided I was having a reaction to the metrogel and yeast drugs! The second time it was prescribed, I woke up having tiny shakes in my upper legs and tingling in hands. This scared me so much I refuse to take it ever again. Use at your own risk. I still don't think I ever had BV or if I did if it was something that needed medication. My problems were apparently unrelated to the supposed BV, as I never felt any BV sx, and taking this med only made me suffer! | F | 7 days | 1/2/2008 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | The drug gave me a severe yeast infection as well as creating long term sensitivity in my vulvar area, causing what my doctor described as "provoked vulvar vestibulitis". I live in persistent pain that gets worse after intercourse. Three years, and lots of physical therapy and I still cannot have sex regulary. | The side effects should be better communicated, they are more severe than what most doctors assume. | F | 3 days | 1/12/2009 | 5 | becaue i was a whore | I had bad odor and clumpy discharge. | I stunk like a skunk with great funk. | F | 15 | 2500 days | 1/14/2005 | 4 | BV | Only white clumpy discharge | I took the 5 day dose for this medicine, and the really foul fishy odor has gone away, but I can still smell it a little bit unfortunately. I was hoping to completely eliminate the odor. | F | 15 | 5 days | 11/12/2007 | 4 | Vanginitus | When I was using Metro Vaginal Gel, I experienced alot of cottage looking discharge. It was disgusting. I also experience abdominal pain accompanied with headaches and nausea for the first day of using it. Hopefully this material works. | F | 15 | 5 days | 5/10/2009 | 3 | Change in Discharge,and light odor. | I was given the 5 day treatment,where you use it every night before bed.Last night was my second night of using this,and Ive experienced Those big white clumps,But im glad to see that im not alone in that.Other than that,It seems to be working. | Seems to work.No Bad Side Affects. | F | 15 | 5 days | 1/25/2008 | 4 | BV | I have used Metrogel a number of times but this last time I used it I experienced white/yellow chucky discharge. I thought I had a bad yeast infection. I got very scared but then I found this site and learned many other women have also experienced this. | Metrogel helps me but the BV keeps coming back. | F | 16 | 8 months | 7/22/2005 | 5 | BV | I was prescribed for 5 days Once every night . The side effects ive had were the clumpy white discharge , abdominal pain and a little nausea .

I also had the thick, white, rubbery discharge. I was worried at first, but now I see it's normal. No YI, or anything except some mild itching towards the end. | F | 17 | 4 days 0.75% | 6/18/2012 | 3 | Bv | Clumpy White Discharge I Asume Its The Gel Coming Out. A Slight Itch For A Few Seconds. | Im So Glad I found This Site, I Was Scared To Take The Medicine. | F | 17 | 5 days .075% 1X D | 3/16/2012 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginitats | I felt sick to my stomach and had that crappy white cottage cheese discharge. | I had to go through it twice and i still am not able to have sex. I have the same symptoms before i started it and before the vaginitis was discovered. yet my gyno syas i have no infection and that im perfectly fine. I hope the burning stops soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 17 | 2 days | 10/11/2005 | 5 | BV | Lots of white clumpy discharge , moderate nausea and mild abdominal discomfort and cramping | F | 18 | 6 days 5 grams | 5/15/2012 | 5 | BV | I started this drug when my period was begining and I had the most disgusting menstral blood. It didn't even bleed that much only brown chunks of rubbery flesh came out. I guess this is normal but it was so nice to read that a few others have had this too. | It sucks but it works. | F | 18 | 5 days | 12/2/2005 | 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 | 4/29/2006 | 4 | bv | This is my first time havin bv that i kno about. I am on day on and expiericing very bad cramps and have slight headache with dizziness and very tired | F | 18 | 5 days | 2/4/2013 | 4 | BV | This cream really helped with the swelling, and the terrible odor from before being prescribed is completely gone. But I'm now experiencing clumpy white discharge, almost like its little bits of toilet paper. I'm done with the dosage so hopefully the discharge is just a reaction with the medicine and will wear off soon. | F | 18 | 4 days | 2/9/2012 | 4 | BV | I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON! I did not have any white clumps, I only had nausea and cramps, BUT- my period has always been 1-2 days and I have never needed a tampon, all of the sudden IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND A HALF! VERY HEAVY not slowing down. No one else had this issue.. Should I be worried? please e mail me | F | 18 | 5 days 1X D | 3/22/2010 | 4 | bacterial infection | I had a great amount of white clumpy discharge. It was very thick and chunky. It started on the third day of the medication and ended after about five days. | F | 18 | 5 days | 1/14/2005 | 4 | Abnormal Pap Smear | The white clumpy discharge, but I put 2 and 2 together. I knew it was the medicine. Other than that, no side effects | I didnt have a problem with it, worked for me | F | 18 | 4 days | 4/3/2007 | 4 | BV | I had the same creamy white/pink discharge that many of you have experienced. I'm so glad I found this page because I was THIS close to freaking out. I figured the medicine wasn't helping me at all because I was still experiencing this annoying discharge. I really wish they would explain this as a normal side effect on the package, instead of having me search the internet none stop for answers. I've got one more application to go and I'm hoping that the discharge will go away veryyy soon. My boyfriend hates it even more than I do... =P | F | 18 | 5 days | 2/11/2009 | 4 | BV | This is the fourth day i've been taking metro gel. My doctor directed me to only take it once a day though until gone, at bedtime. The smell has reduced although occasionally i still sense the fishiness. After day two i got the white toilet paper slimey discharge everyone else has encountered and cannot stand it. I have decided to do the twice a day dosing because the time requirement would probablly be near 10 days to finish this tube. There is rarely itching now, occasionally a very very mild burn when i go pee, and very rare cramping. I really hope this goes away soon. Does anyone know how long the white clumpy stuff will come out after the medication is gone? also, the discharge is just a side effect correct? i'm not getting a yeast infection? | F | 18 | 4 days | 7/22/2007 | 3 | Abnormal pap smear | I got a cottage cheese-like discharge. No odor, just spungy clumps of white. I stopped it two days ago but am still getting the discharge. I have no idea as to whether this is normal or not. I didn't have any symptoms before my gynecologist prescribed it. | F | 18 | 5 days | 7/25/2004 | 3 | BV | Thick white clumpy discharge, slight cramps, and a weird smell | I dont know how I feel about the gel yet, at first I just had regular discharge that would go away and come back. The doctor put me on this gel and after the first day I was having this clumpy white discharge I had never seen before!(and a slight smell) The discharge is still there but im on my last day of treatment maybe it will clear up in a couple of days! At least i hope so, wish me luck... | F | 18 | 5 days 1X D | 10/30/2010 | 3 | Bv | white tissue like discharge im scared cuz i hope i dont catch a yeast infection after this i had it one time before . :( . the smeel is qone i kan say that much but still using it have 2 more days to qo . does anyone know if the white tissuelike discharqe will qo away plzz its inportant ?? | F | 18 | 6 days 1 | 1/17/2012 | 1 | BV | I've had a lot of thick white discharge, headaches, dizziness, bouts of nausea, and diarhhea. | F | 18 | 6 days 1 x day | 6/27/2012 | 1 | yes | none | F | 18 | 5 days | 12/18/2008 | 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 | 5 | BV | I was diagnosed with BV and the doctor prescribed metrogel to me. In two days my BV symptoms (i.e. fishy smell, discharge) were gone. However in that same two days I started getting the same clumpy discharge that a lot of other people have described. I'm supposed to use the gel for 7 days total, so I hope in two more days when I'm finished with it, it will go away! Also... DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL while taking this drug!! I made that mistake and I became EXTREMELY nauseous, and vomited a lot the next morning. I know I did not drink enough to cause this, so I'm pretty sure the mixing of the two drugs caused it. I also experience a strange, almost metallic taste in my mouth. However, I think it is curing my BV. If anyone knows anything about this clumpy stuff and if it will go away, please contact me! | F | 19 | 5 days | 10/2/2006 | 5 | Odor following uterine procedure | This is the second time I have taken Metrogel-Vaginal - the first time was last June, when, at my very first gyno appointment, some abnormal bacterial activity was found - however, they mentioned nothing about bacterial vaginosis, so I don't know for sure whether I had it or not. The second time was after I had a dilate and evacuate procedure for a small cyst, and I noticed a rather strong, foul odor - my gynecologist told me this was quite frequent for post-procedure women, and prescribed the drug again. Both times I experienced the same toilet-papery or cottage-cheese-like symptoms - the second time it contained some reddish clumps because the spotting from the procedure had just stopped a few days prior. What I think the toilet-papery discharge might be caused by is the congealing of the clear gel when it reacts with the already-existing vaginal discharge - notice that nothing clear comes back out after the application? - and since the cervix is closed to keep foreign substances from entering the uterus, it couldn't have disappeared up there. Either way, it helped me greatly - I did have mild cramping, and the discharge lasted a few days after I finished the dosage, but it was a small price to pay. | Drugs are different for EVERYONE. This was just my experience with Metrogel-Vaginal - depending on numerous factors, you may experience more or even less side effects than I did. It's not worth it for everyone - talk to your gynecologist about concerns you may have before or while taking this medication. | F | 19 | 5 days | 7/24/2005 | 5 | Bv,discharge,odor,irregular periods | Abdominal pain,dizzyness, whiteish yellow tissue clotts. Very annoying glad that the odor is gone. Scared it might come back. Had a little bit of itching. Just want the clots to go away. Glad im not the only one to be going thru this. Ive vaginal issues since middle school. | F | 19 | 7 days | 6/4/2012 | 5 | I got the white, chunky, gel-like discharge after the 2nd day of use and continuing through all days of use. No side affects at all . | i was accttually wondering if after the 5th day can you become sexually active again? Would you get infected again? | F | 19 | 1X D | 7/31/2010 | 4 | BV | EW...Nasty white ricotta cheese like clumps, cramping, nausea and now my vagina itches really bad but i dont want to scratch it. ahhhh. and im so dry and have a slight burning sensation. not the best side affects. | i have to go back to the dr so hopefully the explain all this to me and tell me my bv is gone. | F | 19 | 5 days 1 tube 1X D | 6/17/2010 | 4 | BV | itching and burning | i was first given the pills 500mg twice a day for 7 days,the first day; i noticed that the smell had vanished. then i suddenly got this really bad itching and burning so i called the doctor, she said that means the medication was working. the itching wouldn't go away, i went back to the doctors and i ended up having a yeast infection. they gave some other medicine and that same day i started getting the smell again. i waited it out,till i recently went back to the doctors and have BV again :// so i got the MetroGel this time. so far, i have no smell. lets see how this goes. | F | 19 | 5 days 1X D | 2/24/2011 | 4 | bv | white clumpy discharge | i have a question can one of you girls please help me. I finished using metrogel last saturday (4/23/11) and i have experienced some brown discharge today (4/28/11) is it normal that im experiencing the brown discharge now even though im done with the prescribed doses? Ive also been getting cramps | F | 19 | 5 days 1X D | 4/29/2011 | 4 | Bv | White tissue like discharge is the only downfall of this drug. It says to do it for 5 days but because I'm pregnant and attack my bv in the beginning stage I choose to do 3 days... Plus I take probiotics | F | 19 | 3 days | 3/21/2012 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Slight cramping, Clumpy white discharge | I really had no side effects. Really, I just had slight cramping and this clumpy white discharge. Seems like the BV is gone and that's all I could hope for. It was easy to use and convenient (IMO) I'd rather do the gel then the pill because I'd rather it go to the site of the problem rather then through my whole body. As for the clumpy white discharge I'm thinking it's just a side effect of the gel but if it is a yeast infections as others state they got with similiar discharge, I have no pain, itching, or discomfort. Just the discharge which has no odor. It's just there. However, if it is a yeast infection, I'd rather have that then the BV. | F | 19 | 5 days 70 MG 1X D | 12/22/2011 | 4 | bv | sickness after using, and tiny reddish brown sponge-like discharge and tiny white sponge-like discharge | 15 weeks pregnant and the doc prescribed that i take this medication and after first application everything was ok until i woke up and had to potty and when i wiped my area there were these tiny red blobs mixed with just a few white blobs and there was a LOT but later on in the day it started to go away until it was time i had to do another application and there was red spots on the applicator and this morning there was less red blobs and no white blobs | F | 19 | 5 days 1X D | 9/18/2011 | 4 | BV | headache, cramping, nausea, appetite loss, increased discharge | F | 19 | 5 days 5 G 1X D | 11/5/2011 | 4 | bv | Brown clumpy discharge. Headache | F | 19 | 6 days 1xday | 11/20/2011 | 4 | bv | About two months ago I was on the vaginal gel, I got the white discharge freaked out Google's it everyone said it was yeast, quit taking gel, got yeast infection pill, still had problems, all to find out the white discharge Is the medicine. So I'm back on it today will be my 4th day and I was just wondering if anyone had a kinda greenish discharge come out on there pad etc? I have no smell and no more itching but noticed some green kinda thick discharge on my pad? Is this normal? Other than that I have experienced head aches but the pills taste like shit so ill use the gel anyday!!! | F | 19 | 6 days | 12/1/2012 | 4 | BV | this medication worked great it got rid of the smell the first day. i contiued use for about a week and a couple days and then got my period and everythign was fine. as soon as i got back to school, about 3 weeks later, i felt some symptoms agian so i decided to start using it until it was gone and now i am experiencin a very think, very white cottage-cheese, wet toliet paper substance excreting from my vagina, i thought i had a bad yeast infection but there was albsolutley no smell and only a little burning but no itching. i had no clue that these were some symptoms but it didnt happen until i started to use it again. | i think i am going to use a natural way to correct my bacteria. | F | 19 | 10 weeks | 9/16/2005 | 4 | Vaginal Bacteria | I experienced the clumpy and stringy discharge that most women have experienced after reading this website. Some dryness of vagina and irritation when peeing on the first and last day of application. No cramps, headaches, nausea, fatigue. I hope that this application doesn't cause any kind of yeast infection. I'm on my last day and i still experience the white clumping and stringy discharge. When should this end? I never knew this gel could even cause a YI, my doctor never told me. If this is not true, please let me know. | M | 19 | 7 days | 3/14/2008 | 4 | BV | MASSIVE CLUMPS OF FETA CHEESE LIKE SUBSTANCE. GROSS | it helped but don't know if it causes yeast please email if you have any advice | F | 19 | 7 days | 6/14/2007 | 3 | BV | the white clumps of wet looking toilet paper discharge since the first day just finished the 5th dose today everything is fine except the discharge, and waking up in the middle of the night with a full bladder. and it sounds normal from the other posts. thanks everyone for your comments you saved me from a useless trip to the ER | i would use it again | F | 19 | 5 days | 3/7/2009 | 3 | BV | I had the huge clumpy discharge that a lot of you seemed to be having. I had it on day 3 and day 5. Both times however I had a bowel movement with it. Asked nurse the first time...she didn't seem too worried (was double checking w/ doctor but still hasn't gotten back to me)...Haven't mentioned the 2nd time to nurse. Also had a little cramping on both days of discharge...felt a tiny bit itchy but that's normal for me I think. | It's not bad other than the discharge...freaked me out a little bit. Hope it's no big deal and the infection is cleared up, but I'll have to see over a couple of days... | F | 19 | 5 days | 10/25/2009 | 3 | BV | For the first two days of taking metrogel i noticed a relief in the severity of symptoms, there is still a lingering mild burn and itching,this is the second time i have used this product and it seems to almost clear symptoms but not quite. I also panicked this morning when i had a larg rubbery white discharge but was relieved upon reading this. I also think it is important that people no NOT to smoke MARIJUANA while taking this medicine i had a very severe mental reaction and felt psychotic almost went to the hospital. I also thought I should share that on the metrogel pamphlet it says other STD possibilities should be eliminated so if it is possible u have one u should get checked out as i am doing thanks for all the comments i feel very relieved | F | 19 | 5 days | 11/8/2006 | 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.
