| 5 | BV | I ALSO EXPEERIENCED COTTAGE CHEESE CRAP COMIG OUT ON THE 2ND. DAY, SO I GOT ONLINE TO FIND OUT WHATS GOING ON. IT IS SO DICUSTING, BUT OVER ALL I WOULD RATHER GO THREW THIS STAGE THAN TO WALK AROUND SMELLING BAD. THE COTTAGE CHEESE DONT HAVE A SMELL. AS FAR AS THE BV AROUND THE SECOND DAY METRO SEEMS TO BE WORKING. I AM SO GLAD THERE IS A WEB SITE LIKE THIS. WE ALL CAN TALK ABOUT THE VAGINAL STUFF. | I ALSO FEEL DRAINED WITH THIS MEDICATION. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. MY MOUTH IS DRY A LOT. TASTE BUDS ARE 1/2 THERE. A HAMBURGER TASTES GOOD, BUT WITH THE MEDICATION I CANT REALLY TASTE THE FLAVOR. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS SYMPTOM? I'M ON DAY 3. 4 MORE DAYS AND I'LL BE DONE. HOW EVER THIS METRO DOES ITS JOB. (GET RID OF BV) | F | 27 | 7 days | 1/17/2007 | 3 | BV 12 weeks pregnent | Very little discharge, soreness | I went to the doctor three times for what I thought was a UTI but all tests came up negative. I was having the worst bladder pain and vaginal pain! They tested me again and said I had BV. They put me on Flagyl at first but it gave me the worst anxiety!!! DON"T take that stuff! Now Iam on Metrogel. Nurse told me it wouldn't cause a Yeast Infection but....I don't think she knows her ass from her foot! I am on the 4th day of treatment and still have mild pain. Don't know if its getting any better??? I am also hoping this is SAFE for my unborn baby. I would really like to enjoy my pregnancy!!? | F | 23 | 7 days | 1/8/2007 | 1 | NONSPECIFIC VAGINITIS | BURNING INTERNALLY ON SECOND DAY OF USE. STOPPED IMMEDIATELY SINCE I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH EXTERNAL VAGINAL BURNING FOR TWO MONTHS. I AM POSTMENOPAUSAL (60 YRS OLD). HAD WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE AFTER TWO DAYS OF STOPPING METROGEL. ASKED OB/GYN NURSE IF THIS COULD CAUSE A YEAST INFECTION. ANSWER WAS DEFINITELY YES SO I ASKED FOR A SCRIPT FOR DIFLUCAN AND HAVE STARTED THE DIFLUCAN 3 DAYS AFTER STOPPING METROGEL. STILL HAVE VAGINAL BURNING. GOING TO SEE A SPECIALIST THIS WEEK. | WOULD AVOID USING IT AGAIN. WISHED I KNEW ABOUT THIS SITE SOONER. | F | 60 | 2 days | 1/1/2007 | 5 | BV during pregnancy | I had the cottage cheese/wet toilet paper stuff after 2 days of metrogel too!! I searched and searched for side effects of metrogel and found nothing. Then I thought its an antibiotic so it must be causing a yeast infection? So I was soooo relieved when I see that others have it too. | The cheesy stuff has absolutely no smell and the foul smell from the BV went away after the second day so overall I give it a 5. I am pregnant so my doctor instructed me to only take for 3-4 days. | F | 26 | 4 days | 12/23/2006 | 4 | BV | Not sure | I'm confused.... I don't have white clumps like everyone else is describing... it really just seems like the ORIGINAL problem (BV) I had is much MUCH less than before. In other words, still have a slight discharge, but it doesn't smell at all. The discharge is still brown-ish, but I still have to wear a pantyliner! I figure I can just continue taking Metrogel until I see 100% results, no? | F | 25 | 6 days | 12/19/2006 | 3 | BV | Thank god for this web site!!! I took 4 days of treatment (the doc gave me samples) 4 days ago and last night in the bathroom did the finger test and tbs sized thick dry discharge came out!!! thought my vagina was turning inside out. now i havefilled the script and im afraid to use it I burn and itch and my stomach hurts. Doc told me to due 3 more days help | I really don't know about this med. Should I call the doc back and try an oral? Can I take back my unopened box of metro-hel and get my 97.00 dollars back? please email me if you have any ansewers | F | 29 | 4 days | 12/15/2006 | 1 | Was prescribed for BV. | My original symptoms were soreness w/o discharge or odor. I was prescribed metrogel. This is the third time I have taken it and this time was as bad as ever. The last two times I stopped thinking that I had the worst yeast infection ever. Immediately after treatment I get extreme itching, redness, and irritation, plus the lovely toilet paper clumpys that are beyond digusting. I have one more dose and I don't want to do it. I am so uncomfortable and I hate the clumpy's. It is just not right. Last time, once I made it through the five days, I was much better after two days off of metro-gel but the treatment process was horrible. | You've got to wonder about a medication that has so many side effects that are not included in the product instructions. Makes me wonder how well tested this drug is. | F | 31 | 5 days | 12/11/2006 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | My eye is twitching but that could totally be non-related. had a mild like, psuedo headache. nothing bad. | EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THESE WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE AFTER A FEW DAYS ON METROGEL. THIS IS A YEAST INFECTION!!!! lol. CAUSED BY THE ANTIBIOTICS USED TO KILL THE BAD BACTERIA. METROGEL WILL KILL ALL BACTERIA IN YOUR VAGINA. SOME BACTERIA IS NEEDED TO KEEP YEAST UNDER CONTROL. NO BACTERIA=YEAST OVERGROWTH=YEAST INFECTION. MY GYNO IS SMART, AND TO CURB THIS, GAVE ME TWO DIFLUCAN TABS. ONE TAB I TOOK ON DAY TWO OF METROGEL AND THUS DIDN'T DEVELOP A YEAST INFECTION. SHE SAID IF I DID, BY THE END OF THE USE, TO TAKE THE OTHER DIFLUCAN IF NEEDED. NO PROBLEMS OTHERWISE. I USED CLEOCIN LAST TIME I HAD BV AND DEVELOPED THE WORST YEAST INFECTION I'VE EVER HAD. SINCE I AM PRONE TO YEAST AFTER ANTIBIOTIC USE, WE COMBAT THAT BEFORE HAND BY FIGHTING YEAST DURING MEDICATING THE BV!!! GOOD LUCK & DON'T FREAK OUT! IF YOU SEE WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE, IT'S YEAST-GO BACK TO YOUR GYNO FOR DIFLUCAN!!! | F | 22 | 6 days | 12/10/2006 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Mild Headache on days 1-2, and then raging yeast infection on day 5. (that white discharge everyone speaks of is yeast, since the M/G kills the bacteria that keeps the yeast in check) | Had to get monistat and started that as soon as i finished the metro-gel. The yeast infection didn't go away all the way, so I was prescriped DIFLUCAN. Took the yeast away, the BV was gone thanks to the METROGEL...and my vagina is back in tune!! | F | 27 | 7 days | 12/10/2006 | 5 | BV | Slimy discharge with large wet yellowish paper-like clumps. | I have used this product in the past and have never experienced anything like this. My doctor did not for warn me that I could have these kind of results. I do feel a little nauseated at times. The smell was gone on day 2, but the discharge started. Thank God for this website. I thought something was HORRIBLY wrong. The manufacturer should enclose these possible side-effects with this product. By the way, you CAN be REINFECTED from your partner. Do a little more research and check with your local health dept. Always remember, if you are not getting the answers you need from your current doctor or the results, change to another one. This is your body and you must take care of it. | F | 33 | 4 days | 12/9/2006 | 3 | bv | white discharge, severe abdominal cramps. | i have taken metro gel tons of times. its effectiveness has began to wear off. the white discharge is a yeast infection caused by the metro gel for anyone who didnt know. | F | 22 | 5 days | 12/7/2006 | 4 | bv | so glad i found the site as well... i was supposed to have waited untill my period was completely finsihed before starting metrogel-v but due to a change in my birth control it didnt seem to want to go away.. just stayed there real light. so on day 10 of the period my dr gave up and told me to start. ever since day 1 i have had the same discharge but im guessing since theres blood invloved mine is almost the color of what i would expect the skin on the inside on me to look like.. (dark red-brown)which is why i freaked out when it came out. i dont know if its helped yet because i still have tonight before im done. we'll see. | F | 21 | 5 days | 12/4/2006 | 5 | BV | I too was completely freaked out by this clear/white flesh like toilet paperish mucous clumps. Oh my god... what was this! For days I searched afraid of what I was going to find out. I finished the 5 day doses 2 days ago. The clummpy discharge started, about 3 days into the treatment. My period started today and I still have the clumps :o(. How long does this last... the clumps? Thank you sisters... I can breathe a little easier!! | I just wish that the manufactor and the doctors/ pharmacists would deem this important enough to let us know of the possible side effects. I think I will look further into this. | F | 42 | 5 days | 11/24/2006 | 4 | BV | I too have expirenced th nasty clumps. I was prescribed this medication for the 5 days and my symptoms clearedup immeaditly. Then a few weeks down the road I again had the smell with wet underwear all the time! So I now have to take it 2 times a week for maitence. The smell goes away immediatly thank god, then for the next couple of days I have the clumps from hell! Then they go and Its back to normal for a few weeks. | I worry that I have something other than BV. If I had an std or hpv would the gel work like it does for me now or would my symptoms never go away in that case?? I wonder if my husband isn't giving it back to me when we have sex after its gone. I'm very scared and imbarassed! I wish I could just be normal! I feel so gross! | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 11/22/2006 | 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 | BI | First I started out with symptoms that I had a yeast infection. When suddenly my symptoms got worst and my vagina felt raw, itchy and very sensitive. I went to gyno, i'm having some tests run which i'm getting tomorrow, but she prescribed metrogel for the time being. So far i've noticed the smell less than before. But the itching and burning and raw feel feels worst and yesterday was my last dosage. IT SUCKS! | So far I haven't experienced any weird cottage cheese/toilet paper symptoms. I hope I don't get that! But my vagina is burning up! | F | 29 | 5 days | 10/18/2006 | 5 | BV | I, too, had teaspoon-size clumps of discharge like wet toilet paper (also like "Cream of Wheat") with flecks of dark brown tissue on roughly days 5, 7, 8, and 9. | Besides the worry of a bad infection, I had an even worse worry. I went to see my gyn about it, and as soon as the speculum was inserted, started to bleed a lot. I had told her on the 1st visit that we had just started trying to get pregnant, so, I guess based on my earlier description of the discharge, she thought I was having a miscarriage. So I lay there with blood dripping on the floor in fear of miscarrying, then had to cram a pad in my underwear, then rush off to have a blood test before they closed to see if I tested positive for hcg (the pregnancy hormone). I had to wait all of today for her call, which never came, so I called myself. It was negative, so no pregnancy, no miscarriage; my period had come a bit early. The one good thing is that I am changing doctors. I felt like she hadn't listened to my description of the discharge, that I had to try to convince her what it really was like. Granted, it's a crazy description. But had she listened, she may have realized it was NORM | F | 39 | 5 days | 10/13/2006 | 3 | bv | yuk yuk yuk i thought i was going to give birth to something but it's wonderful to hear others talk about this brown stuff. ........ | F | 43 | 5 days | 10/5/2006 | 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 | bv | mild, some morning cramping, no discharge yet | what about drinking alcohol while taking this gel? | F | 31 | 2 days | 9/28/2006 |
