| 3 | Bacteria Vaginois | Some tingling while taking the meds and clump white discharge 1-2 days following the 5 day treatment | I am so so happy to find this site regarding BV. I have been suffering from BV for about 3 years now and unfortunately all the doc continues to tell me is that it is a pesky recurring infection. Thankfully it is not sexually transmitted but as most of us know aside from the fish odor, it can be very disruptive to your sex life. I have tried everything on the market, Flagyl, Tindamex, Vinegar and Water douche and lastly the Metro gel. I just finished my last dose of Metro last week and I'm now experiencing the white clumpy discharge, similarly to ricotta cheese. I'm so happy you ladies posted since I thought it was possibly a yeast infection which fortunately I do not get often but I had no itch which usually one of the signs. It seems like the white clumpy discharge is a side effect of the gel. Ugh! I'm hoping my problem is finally resolved but it seems to be the symptoms come back after my menstrual cycle. I hope we all can rid this BV once and for all! | F | 34 | 5 days 30 mg 1X day | 12/26/2010 | 4 | Horrible itching and odor | Slight headache, some burning, and white discharge. Kinda moody and some back pain. | I was really worried about taking this medication especially after reading this website but the only down side about this medication is that I couldn't drink or have sex for 7 days. I am currently on day two after my last application and so far so good! I just really hope it doesn't come back the minute I have sex again :( | F | 29 | 5 days 30 mg 1X day | 12/20/2010 | 2 | bv | Burning and terrible huge white clumps, a feeling of a urinary tract infection cramping nausea with alcohol consumption. | Well i visited my doc about the side effects he examined me and put the discharge under a slide he said its mucus and skin from the inside of the vaginal wall cervix and uterus he said the medication causes the skin and the infected mucus to clump up and peel off and that it burns because it has a small amount of alcohol in it. This is the second time i have taken it had the symptoms both times no blood though. I got chronic bv after leep procedure | F | 28 | 1 weeks 30mg 2X day | 12/14/2010 | 3 | BV | Same white, ball-like clumps mentioned by other women. Glad to find a forum where this was discussed. | Please read this post: I developed BV after having a cyst/switching off of a birth control pill. These are some things I wish I had known about. My heart goes out to all of you suffering from BV, and I honestly don't know why women aren't told about these more natural SOLUTIONS, especially for use after antibiotic treatment. (1) Fem-dophilus - absolutely amazing product - you can likely find at a health food store. Cleared up BV once in 2 days without any other treatment. (2)Represh: They now even have a ph regulating tampon, which I am excited to try. (3) Kefir!! Amazing, amazing, amazing. You can get at local health food store. Nancy's brand is by far the best product - (4) Finally, apple cider vinegar bath can help relieve any soreness. Also, is supposed to help regulate ph . . . I HOPE EVEN ONE OF THESE CAN HELP YOU! | F | 22 | 5 days 750 1X day | 12/13/2010 | 3 | BV | Huge brownish white sponge like chunks | Cleared up the smell the first day, but now on day 2 have huge sponge like chunks. Felt sick to my stomach after one came out just from the disgusting factor. | F | 28 | 5 days 1X day | 12/12/2010 | 5 | BV | Small amount of the metrogel discharge. | Had to use this twice as it did not work the first time.I highly recommend getting some fem dophilus and start taking it on day 3.I believe that is why my BV is gone. | F | 46 | 5 days .75 1X day | 12/8/2010 | 2 | BV | Well flagyl didn't work for me so I use this. Basically still feel like I have BV, but burning just mild now instead of intense. Possible allergy sensitivity to something it this drug, I itch all over my body. Don't feel much relief. | F | 20 | 5 days .75 1X day | 12/8/2010 | 1 | MILD Gardnerella | Doc gave me metrogel vaginal gel after a routine pap showed low levels of Gardnerella. I was having no symptoms, but decided to take metrogel as she prescribed. What a nightmare! Day 3 I ended up in the ER by ambulance. I was admitted for reoccurring syncope (fainting/blackouts), low blood pressure 83/74), cramping, and headache, all side-effects of metro-gel. Doc said so many people have a bad reaction to Flagyl (an ingredient in metro-gel). I suggest trying ANY other remedy, either natural or prescribed before taking this. It was just horrible, messy, and caused a yeast infection to top it all off. | Beware! Read the paper that comes inside the medication box. Know the signs of allergic reaction and side-effects. DO NOT drive while on this. Many people have syncope, as I did, and can wreck their car or worst. | F | 29 | 5 days 1X day | 12/4/2010 | 3 | BV | Abdominal Pain, Bloating, UTI Symptoms, intense bladder pain, Stomach (intestinal cramps), Chills. No white discharge, but did have clear discharge when wiping after using the bathroom. After finishing medication on day 6 I did have bloody/clear discharge- but relieved to find that is somewhat normal. | I have had BV twice before and I hate it. I have treated myself with Garlic supplements and Acidophils- which does work. I recently got out of a 3 moth Monogamous relationship and started Oracea for Rosacea (a low dose antibiotic) both of which triggered my BV again. I went to the OB thinking I had an STI- was relieved to find out it wasn't. The Metrogel helped- All of my BV symptoms are gone! No itching, no redness or rash, no irritation and no sticky discharge. If you experience white clumpy discharge I would recommend getting treatment for a yeast infection! This medication does not prevent yeast! It CAN and WILL promote it. I took a dose of Diflucan 2 days before treatment and again on the 6th day after I finished. No clumpy white discharge so far, only clear/bloody discharge which is the infection leaving my body. I am STILL experiencing bad bladder pain. I did a follow up with my OB Doc. and he suspects I have Interstitial Cystitis. I have made an appointment with a Urologist. If you suspect you have this condition DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! It only irritates/inflames and makes everything worse. Other than the bladder pain, this medication worked. I think I will ask for clindamycin next time if I should ever face this again. Hopefully I won't. | F | 31 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 11/25/2010 | 4 | bv | looks like a yeast infection and a mild cramp once or twice | This med helped from day one. My doctor also prescribed diflucan for a possible yeast infection and I have also taken that. The smell was gone from day one and I felt all better by day 3 but continued to take the med for the full 5 days. There does seem to be quite a bit of discharge but it should go away eventually. I have changed my bathing habits and have given up on using the good smelling perfume soaps as that seems to be the root of my BV. | F | 34 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 11/24/2010 | 4 | BV | White discharge with some blood, mild abdomenal cramps, backache and some lightheadedness and forgetfullness. | This is my fourth time using the gel. The first three times were in about a 3 month period and after calling my doctor and crying on the phone I decided to do some research and find out what I can do to help prevent it from coming back. I started taking multivitamins, changed my diet so that is was more well-balanced, started taking Garlique(to help fight infection) and I started taking Rephresh PRO B. After all of that I did not have the infection come back until I got strep throat and had to take antibiotics. After my course of antibiotics I got a yeast infection and then BV. I had stop taking some of the stuff because I had been doing so well and the cost adds up quickly. I have started the gel again and taking all of my other stuff again. I like the gel because it takes away the smell but I definately think that it needs to be paired with all of the other stuff or it just keeps coming back....I was never more embarrassed than when my boyfriend asked me why I all of a sudden had an odor "down there".....I wanted to die. | F | 27 | 5 days 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 3 | BV | Heart racing, Tired, Vaginal Itching,Thick Clumpy Discharge | I have only taken one dose of Metrogel, and the smell has gone away. I did however wake up this morning with a large amount of discharge, and I felt like my heart was racing. I have also felt very tired. I plan on finishing the treatment as my doctor has recommended, and also following up with yeast infection treatment, Diflucan, as my doctor has suggest. I really hope this works. I am tired of having these issues! | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 4 | chronic bv | disgusting clumpy white discharge that IS NOT YEAST, i went to the doctor alarmed and everything was fine, but intercourse is extremely messy and embarassing. | also had discharge for weeks after i stopped using this medicaton. | F | 30 | 3 months 2X W | 11/10/2010 | 4 | BV | It worked wonders on my odor and discharge. But i'm coming off my period and it appears that im having another Bacterial Infection. not really any discharge but Im smelling the same odor that i always get when Im getting BV. I still have some of the medicine left so what should i do? I actually put some on a Q-tip and rubbed it inside me a bit, should I continue that? Ugh i just hate the smell and i want it GONE!!! | F | 22 | 5 days 5day 1X day | 10/31/2010 | 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 day | 10/30/2010 | 1 | BV | Just excess discharge when wiping after using restroom. | It has not even been a full week after finishing the gel and the BV has returned.I will now use the remainder of the tube but i highly doubt it's going to cure this.What a let down. | F | 46 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Heart racing, lose of appetite, nausea, sickness bad, white clumpy discharge- kind of like wet toilet paper | I hate this stuff!!! I took it for the 5 days but the first dose scared me bad. I took it and thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest.I finished taking the medicine and I started the new symptom of white clumpy discharge(like wet toilet paper). I did some research and it freaked me out because it kept saying STD and I started thinking my husband cheated on me until I found this site. Thank You all for easing my mind. Now I know that it is a side effect and not to worry. When should I expect these symptoms to go away? | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 4 | bacterial infection | Some discomfort in my stomach/ cramping, clumpy white discharge the next morning after dosage. still currently on medication... | I am still currently on the medication I have two weeks of treatment.....no more itching or burning....smell is not gone yet.....waaaaay better. but because i have a longer treatment, i suppose it will take longer for the unpleasant smell to go away. I where a pad through the day just incase of anymore discharge from the treatment.. When I am completely done with treatment plan to return to my doctor to make sure its completely 100 percent cleared up....but so far so good... | F | 26 | 2 weeks 70 1X day | 10/27/2010 | 3 | BV | Burning, UTI, Hot flashes, Clumpy discharge. | If you have intersistial Cystitis I would think twice about using. Made everything worse. | F | 54 | 5 days 1X day | 10/27/2010 | 4 | BV | As stated before by the other women the only side effect I had was the thick white discharge that seem to come out with the gel. | I am so glad I found this site because I was really freaked out by the thick white discharge that formed while using the gel. I think they should warn us about this discharge. It's bad enough BV makes you feel dirty and gross. The treatment shouldn't make you panic more! I'm on day 3 of treatment and can't wait to be normal again. | F | 29 | 5 days 1X day | 10/21/2010 |
