| 2 | possible infection | Massive, White, clumpy discharge that began two days after LAST dose. After another poster sugested it, I took out my nuva ring and was horrified at the clumps on it. GROSS! My doctor had me use this TWICE a day for five days, isnt that too much?! | All these posts but no clear answer to the question: Is the white clumps a yeast infection (I have no itching or smell) or will it go away on its own after being off metro gel for a few days? How long will this last? Does it need to be treated? PLEASE EMAIL ME with answer!!! | F | 30 | 5 days | 4/24/2007 | 4 | BV | clear/"slimey" discharge, which is normal, just the medicine coming back out... only worries were flecks of brown which i read in others comments, i assume a lil blood? and today is day 4 and the applicator had bright red blood on it after i gave myself the medicine. i'm not due for a period til 1 1/2 weeks... so i dont know what the blood is about. feel tired, a bit nauseous. YOU SHOULD NOT DRINK on this med... it says so CLEARLY on the package. also NO SEX until after the course is finished. it also is printed on the package. | i've used this before and it works, but the bleeding is a new side affect. | F | 29 | 4 days | 4/10/2007 | 1 | No symptoms Just neg pap | I took Metro Gel for the five days then I had extreme itching and burning I felt raw!! I also had the clumpy discharge throughout the five days GROSS! I called in the doctor and he said that this med could cause a yeast infection well isn't that nice. THIS CRAP SUCKS! | F | 27 | 5 days | 4/4/2007 | 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 | 1 | BV | Thank God for this website! I thought a was gonna die! I got so scared when I saw this terrible disscharge. The first few days I just had the white toilet paper-like discharge on the 3rd and 4th day it was brown and red almost looking like pieces of flesh coming out-SCARRY! Is there going to be anything left of my reproductive system after this medicine?? I'm having terrible cramps also, like really bad-a lot worst than a period. I still have one more dose and not sure if I should take it or not, I want the BV to go away but afraid it's doing something even more terrible to my insides. | Can not believe it's not mentioned in side effects or by the OBGYN. Crazy! People can really have a heart attack from seeing this stuff! Any advice anyone? should I take the last dose or not? It's a sunday too-so I can't call the doc to find out. | F | 25 | 4 days | 3/18/2007 | 4 | abdmornal pap- too much bad bacteri | No side effects..just white clumpy looking discarge with no smell. | It worked for me. | F | 26 | 3 days | 3/8/2007 | 3 | bv | none yet | I am brand new to this medication. Im on day 1 and I didnt get an applicator with my prescription. I am nervous because on the tube it says for external use only and doesnt refer say anything about dosage. (My doc was out today when I called for my prescription, the doc there called this in for me). Can anyone tell me about how much to use and that this 1% gel for roatia is the same for my bv?? Thanks so much!! I am lost with this stuff!! | F | 34 | 1 days | 3/6/2007 | 1 | BV | The gel goes in clear and comes out looking like Bama Red Plum Jam! What is that about? | The week following the five day treatment, I spotted all week. The week after that I have had a seven day period that appears to never end. I flooded three times to day! With what? I think I'm about out of blood! I didn't know I had a BV. No symptoms. Same heterosexual relationship for two years. Oh, I think this stuff is extremely hormonal! Breasts are sore like when I first found out I was pregnant (that was years ago)...and I told somebody off today! yikes... | F | 44 | 5 days | 3/6/2007 | 4 | BV | I had this terrible itch and a smelly discharge went to the my gyn and was told I had bv give metro gel in a pill form and one pill for yeast infection and some cream. Today was the first day I notice the thick discharge and when I found out it's was a normal side effect, I was relieve. Also my partner had to use the cream because he was irritrate as well. | My question to anyone when can I resume sexual relation? Also what is the risk of this coming back if we do not use a condom. This is my first time ever having a BV. Help anyone. | F | 35 | 3 days | 2/28/2007 | 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 | 4 | BV | slight headache | Makers should definitely insert some kind of 'disclaimer' or side effect about the clumpy white discharge. I experienced this in the end and after having taken the 5 day dosage of MetroGel. I've only been off the medication for about 2 days and i wasn't aware of how much discharge there actually was until intercourse (and theres quite a bit), where my partner and I kind of sat there puzzled as to what all this white lumpy stuff was.. haha.. finding this site was a great help and now know that it will all clear up.. so no worries, you're okay.. so far i think i am :) | F | 23 | 5 days | 2/20/2007 | 1 | BV | Bad, painful stomach cramps. Tired. Feverish. Worried. | I didn't realize that a medicine inserted into the vagina could make me feel so bad all over. I feel like I have the flu. I stopped on day 4 and can't continue. I feel miserable. | F | 41 | 4 days | 2/12/2007 | 5 | BV | slight headache. other than that, NONE whatsoever. | this medicine worked for me. i much prefer this to having to put up with an oral antibiotic. i was getting recurrent infections, because my partner is not circumsized, so those of you who keep getting it may want to consider that as a possibility of why. guys can be treated for it with a medication called Flagyl. oh, and has it EVER occured to anyone that the white clumpy discharge could just be the medicine killing the infection and then letting gravity take its course????!!! i've gotten it each time with this medicine. AND THAT'S ALL THAT DISCHARGE IS - IT'S THE MEDICINE. | F | 26 | 5 days | 2/11/2007 | 4 | BV | I had very few side effects, just some mild cramping for the first day or two. Nothing even worth taking pain meds for...HOWEVER, what I didn't know was, after the course of treatment is done, that this white, clumpy, cottage cheese looking discharge starts. I was FREAKING OUT because I thought I had some sort of other infection. Little did I know, this is normal, albeit unpleasant. My doctor put it well, "What goes in must come out" Yeah, I get it, but I wish i'd known that ahead of time so as not to freak out about it! | This is the 2nd time I've had BV in 5 months...I've never had this before and was wondering if this is something that will keep happening? I've been married for over 2 years and we're monogamous, so it's not like I have multiple partners or anything? Does anyone get this regularly? And if so, how can I prevent it? Please respond if you have have any suggestions or tips!!!! | F | 27 | 5 days | 2/8/2007 | 3 | BV | I'm on the second day and I have the strange papery discharge, with a few flecks of brown. Ick. I'm hoping this doesn't mean yeast infection, as I've noticed other people have said. I'm also hoping this will take care of the problem and not lead to any others. Also, my gynecologist didn't mention anything about not having sexual intercourse while using this treatment, but I would assume that would be a no-no? (And with the nasty discharge, I wouldn't want to subject my boyfriend to that.) | F | 20 | 4 days | 2/8/2007 | 4 | BV | I'm on my 2nd day and am exhausted, not to mention that I've had a lingering headache all day. I woke up with a little bit of nausea too this morning. | I haven't experience the cottage cheese discharge yet, so maybe I'm lucky. I will eat some yogurt though to try and prevent the yeast infection. My only complaint about the applicator is that I wish it had a rounded tip, like a tampon. I feel like the round opening is kind of rigid and makes it hard to insert. | F | 28 | 5 days | 1/30/2007 | 3 | BV | It made my vaginal skin a little itchy and irritated...I hope this is just the gel and that my infection is indead gone. My doc looked under the microscope and said I looked better. I did not experience the white toilet paper discharge everyone is talking about. The gel just came out and looked exactly as it did when I put it in. | F | 24 | 5 days | 1/28/2007 | 4 | BV | I had previously posted about the white discharge I experienced. I just wanted to update that the discharge went away after two days of stopping the medicine. The BV is gone, still battling a minor yeast infection. | It cured the BV, but the discharge was disgusting. | F | 28 | 5 days | 1/25/2007 | 3 | | 1/21/2007 | 4 | BV | Thick, clumpy mostly white discharge. It is very gross and freaked me out! I am prone to yeast infections, but knew this wasn't one...and it was BV. The dr said the gel worked better than the pill...wish I would have insisted upon the pill. I called my dr this morning after I noticed the discharge and she just said it was a yeast infection and gave me one dose of diflucan. I have had many yeast infections and never have had this discharge before! I hope it goes away after the medicine is done. I still have three more doses. | I am also experiencing dryness and irritation. The discharge is by far the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Happy to see I'm not the only one with these symptoms. | 28 | 5 days | 1/20/2007 |
