| 4 | BV | Reddish- brown discharge | This is day four of treatment with the gel. I have had the discharge starting the morning after the first dose. The gel does have to come out, like anything else that goes in there, so I figure the discharge is normal. (Would be nice to know what kind of discharge it would be before I had to go hunting on the internet for answers) No other side effects. I will be drinking more water, and taking daily vitamins. I will up date this next week after my colposcopy. I believe I got my BV from my IUD insertion since the symptoms started within the week of the procedure. I had the device taken out, which is when they tested for the BV. | F | 26 | 5 days .75 1X day | 11/11/2011 | 5 | BV | Clumpy white discharge | Positive experience aside from the weird white clumps. BV was gone after the first dose. Discharge was most noticeable the first few days and then tapered off. 48 hours off the gel, I was able to have sex with no odor or discharge. | F | 23 | 5 days 1X day | 11/9/2011 | 3 | bv | wet t.p like discharge mucus in stool/diarrhea (could be ibs) nosebleed cramps backache and weird pain at the inner folds of my elbows idk why??? | im about to finish with day 5 but im kinda scared to use it the cramps are kinda bad right now and the discharge is sick!!! even though its normal its still freaky and gross | F | 20 | 5 days 1X day | 11/6/2011 | 4 | BV | headache, cramping, nausea, appetite loss, increased discharge | F | 19 | 5 days 5 G 1X day | 11/5/2011 | 2 | BV | White clumps and discharge | So glad I came on here. Thought i got a yeast infection from the metrogel but apparently it's normal. I feel heavy discharge and lots of white clumps. When i put my finger up my vag (sorry) my finger is covered in the white clumpy things. I coulda sworn it was yeast. I took the flaygl for 7 days and then like 3 weeks later, BV came back so I tried metrogel this time. How long til the white clumps and discharge goes away??? | F | 28 | 5 days 2X day | 10/17/2011 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Dry-ish clumpy white discharge, mild cramping | The discharge is freaking me out! Now that I know it's a somewhat common side effect of Metrogel I'm feeling a little better about my situation. I've had three swabs at the doctor's office trying to figure it out, but she has had no answers for me - other than the fact that I don't have STIs or yeast. The doctor kept telling me that the change in my discharge was due to hormone fluctuations or stress, but I know there's something not right with my body. I'd like to know how long I can expect to continue to see these nasty white clumps. | F | 34 | 7 days 5mg 1X day | 10/14/2011 | 5 | bv | Cramping nausea discharge fatigue secondary infection (yeast) | This is the first time I have had Bv. The antibiotic gave me a yeast infection but I get those frequtly after 27 years of Type I diabetes and almost every time I have ever used any antibiotics. | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 9/25/2011 | 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 day | 9/18/2011 | 3 | possible bv | nausea, back pain, white discharge | I have taken a pill for this when i was away at college but this doctor said this is fine to do as well. I have one day left but so far the smell is absolutely gone! even though there is discharge, i'm glad that does not smell because obviously no one wants to smell. I barely had discharge before and now it is worse since that is a side effect of this medication, so i'm not angry about it because I assume when I'm done taking it, it will go away. If not, I will be marching in my doctors office this week! But seems fine. I still think the pill is better because I had zero of these effect, I just couldn't drink alcohol for a week. | F | 22 | 5 days 70 MG 1X day | 9/18/2011 | 5 | BV | Discharge, spotting | I have actually had a very positive experience. I have only had some discharge and some spotting (which is more annoying than anything). I am on BC and I believe that is why Im spotty. Not supposed to start for another 10 days. The odor I had been experiencing was gone after the first day. No other side effects what so ever. However, 3 days off and still have slight discharge. | F | 28 | 7 days 1 tube 1X day | 9/11/2011 | 5 | BV | White clumpy discharge | After Day 1, odor went away. After Day 3, white clumpy discharge like wet toilet paper. After having reviewed this site, I feel relieved to see that that seems typical. Wish the pamphlet would've been more descriptive. I have avoided sex (hard!), but not alcohol. No adverse effects that I can tell from having had a drink. | F | 31 | 5 days 1X day | 9/10/2011 | 5 | possible bv/pH imbalance | day one: stomach cramps, slight nausea, after day one i had no other symptoms except for slight discharge (gel and small white clumps). I also had my period a couple of days after i started the medication...i kept taking it...even added 2 more days to the 5 day dosage (but used less medication 1/2 applicator full) i figured that i should "wean" myself off the medication...i also figured my period could affect the absorption...to my knowledge, the bacteria that causes bv tend to "stick" to the vaginal walls very well...i assume the white clumpy stuff is a result of extreme shedding of the walls - killing and expelling the bacteria | overall this was my first and hopefully ONLY incidence of bv. i actually was not fully diagnosed...i was on a strong antibiotic, then had my monthly, then had sex with my bf of 6 years. i initially had some discharge that went away by the time i saw my doc. she told me "i was fine" but would prescribe me this med because "i came in for a reason". i initially decided not to take it, i thought i didn't have any more symptoms - but after having sex...i definitely was not normal. took the medication, supplemented with vit C, folic acid, femdophilus probiotic, an additional probiotic PB8, vit B, vit E, zinc, vit D. i also took 1 diflucan after day 7. i am about 5 days off the medication, still taking my supplements, and so far so good. i wanted to add a positive post for all of you that are worrying. i hope that you find a solid regimen that will help you with your issue. i've only had this problem this one time, but with caution i would like to avoid it forever. i was already healing prior to the metrogel with my supplements but i believe that it ultimately cleared everything. | F | 29 | 5 days 1 applic. 1X day | 8/25/2011 | 2 | BV | Cramps, head aches, light headed, nasty white discharge. | I was having symptoms of a BV infection for about a month and thought it would go away, after it did not going away I went to the dr. I have had BV twice now and have never used this medication. I was a little freaked out to use it, but just bit the bullet and used it. After using it the first night I did notice the smell was gone like most of you said. Day two some of the discharge was gone. After thinking yes this is going to help I thought wrong. The discharge came back and about a week after finishing using it, and the smell is back. So I fell like i'm back to square one. I am so grossed out by always having this and it's killing my sex life with my boyfriend, thank god he understands. Any ways so after reading some of the posts I decided to try some natural cures, I just ordered fem dophilus which I have only heard great things about. I hope this works! There needs to be more places like this to talk about our problems, it makes me feel a lot more human knowing more women are going thru the same thing! | F | 23 | 5 days 1X day | 8/17/2011 | 4 | bacterial infection/yeast infection | No side effects | Last nite was my first nite,I had sex before I used it. I knw I wasn't suppose to but I needed it. 2day white cottage cheese started coming out every tyme I use the bathroom. I dnt itch anymore,but I still feel raw in my vajayjay. Whn I took a mirror to look at it I have cottage cheese coming out. I was worried, by looking at everybody's post I see tht its normal. I'm glad we have a site to go and talk abt things lke this. | F | 27 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 4 | BV | Wet tissue paper looking discharge. I have NEVER seen this in my life. Smell was gone after day one which was awesome since I've had the smell for over 3 months and tried to hide it with panty liners (stupid) I am also 6 months pregnant now and did not want any meds during the first trimester. NO other side effects!!! | I was scared about taking it during my pregnancy but the BV got so bad that I had no choice. I am glad I took it. I am two days out from finishing the meds but am still having the discharge. I need to ask the doctor when this will end. Probably why they recomend no sex until 1 week after finishing. | F | 28 | 5 days 5 gel tube 1X day | 7/28/2011 | 1 | BV | burning while urinating, tiredness, depressed, tingling alot of tinglin | I was diagnosed with BV on March 18, 2011 went to urgent care they thought it was a UTI so they gave me antibiotics for 7 days, well after 7 days my symptoms were still there, pain after urination etc. I went back to urgent care and this time they checked down there and tested the discharge they found BV so they prescribed MetroGel and and they gave me a pink pill for the yeast infeciton just in case it caused a yeast infection. I took the pill and inserted that gel one a night. I had clumpy white cottage cheese stuff every morning. And every time I would urinate it would hurt right after. I also noticed alot of tingling down there..it's hard to explain. It's now July 26 and I still have tingling and pain right after I urinate, the pain wont go away so easily either it just lags and stays there for awhile...I've been to a urulogist and they said I have nothing wrong with my bladder or urethra they didn't find any bacteria or white cells in my urine. They are now referring me to a Gyno...I'm so tired of this...my pain is still there when I urinate and so is that annoying tingling, kind of like chills down there and I feel like I still have something. The doctor has checked down there and no bacteria the BV is gone but i dont know if the gel burned or made me really sensitive even to my own urine. I haven't been sexually active since March when they first diagnosed the BV now just thinking about doing it with my fiancee is painful.. | F | 33 | 5 days 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 2 | BV | Bad taste in mouth, stomach cramps, dizziness, fatigue | I began this treatment yesterday. I had underwent a five day very strong course of antibiotic about a month ago for a broken finger which I needed stitches. After the antibiotic I began to experience symptoms which were associated with a yeast infection, so I started an over the counter yeast infection treatment for 5 days. Symptoms began getting worse. Went to the dr and she gave me a one time use yeast infection pill and a cream. I took it and they called me a few days later and said that my labs showed a bacterial infection so she prescribed the metrogel. As soon as I took it I remember that I had taken this a few years ago and had awful side effects. A very bad almost "metal" taste in my mouth, stomach cramps an dizziness. Also my period had started two days ago and now I'm not bleeding at all... I should have read the directions before, I am going on vacation this week, leaving in 2 days. Does anyone know what would happen if I doubled up on the gel? This is the only vacation I have all year and to not be able to drink at all the whole time... just kind of sucks. Although it's def not worth it to deal w/ the side effects. I def just can't stop taking it now though right, and resume when I get back from the trip? Or double up tomorrow and the next day so I can at least have a few drinks at the end of the week? If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. | F | 30 | 5 days 1X day | 7/18/2011 | 3 | BV | White discharge, abdominal pain while using it! | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 7/2/2011 | 1 | BV | severe burrning, itching, clumpy discharge 3 days after stopping it. | dr said there was nothing she could do, just apply cold compresses, hydrocortizone cream and wait for it to settle down. it appears im allergic to most the meds used to treat bv, she said she may have to send me to a disease specialist because she has run out of treatment options. is anyone else allergic to the medicines used to treated bv if so what do you use to get rid of it? Please feel free to email me. | F | 40 | 4 days .75% 1X day | 6/22/2011 | 4 | BV | Thick white clumpy nasty discharge, the nausea was so bad in the morning it felt like i was pregnant. | Was given the gel to cure my bv the doctor found after a pap. odor was gone with the first dose. around the third day it became really painfu when i tried to insert the applicator. i finished the dosage 3 days ago but im STILL experiencing thick discharge :( anyone know when its supposed to clear up? i would like to have intercourse again but its too embarassing | F | 23 | 5 days 1X day | 6/15/2011 |
