For Bacterial Vaginosis "It has been almost two weeks since I’ve been informed that I have BV. When I first went to the doctor, they gave me the pills. First, I had to take two pills daily for one week. It was the worst experience I ever had, I had headaches, dizziness, nausea, and weakness. But after that week, nothing changed. So then I went to my OB-GYN, and she said I still have BV in me. So she gave me the gel. I’ve only taken it for two days now. I have no itch. The only thing is I have a thick white discharge with no smell. Hopefully, this goes away when I’m done."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Cleared up my BV first night. Took away smell and discharge, amazing. Tonight is my last dose. CONS: • Very, very tender breasts • NAUSEA • Dizziness • Gave me a bad cough & severe sore throat since Day 2 • Triggers anxiety, badly • Causes irritability • menstrual-like cramps on/off. The side effects were crucial for me. Affected me immensely :( but it cured me. These are my experiences. I always keep tabs on how I feel before starting a meditation and how I feel during and after so that I can properly evaluate and give feedback to my doctors or other ladies."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I've had some form of bacterial vaginitis (BV) and a yeast infection for a few months now. I went in for a pap and tested positive for both, so my OB-GYN prescribed MetroGel and Diflucan. I think both have helped, but I noticed a lot of discharge with the gel. I would have discharge the size of a quarter, and thick, multiple times a day. The symptoms of a yeast infection seem to be gone, so I'm not sure if it's from the gel or yeastie. Anyways, I didn't get the headaches or dizziness. Hoping this helps."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "So I feel like I always either have BV or a yeast infection. I went to the gyno for severe itching and was given an oral dose for a yeast infection. That went fine. My results came back, and I also had BV, so I started the 5-day vaginal metronidazole gel. I hate it. The first couple of days, I felt weak and dizzy. I’m on the last night, thank goodness. These past three days, including right now, I’ll get a terrible headache in the evenings. I never get headaches. Super weird. Really uncomfortable. Also very anxious and irritable. Hope this all goes away after tomorrow. And I pray I don’t get a yeast infection. Literally just took medication for one."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I have recurring BV, so the MetroGel used three times a week helps a lot for a few days but has not gotten rid of it altogether. It provides some relief from BV, but I do get some side effects like dizziness, bloating, upset stomach, and tiredness. I only insert less than half of an applicator full each time, get fewer side effects from it, and it still is effective."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I’ve used this for one day, and this is my second night using it, and I feel horrible. I feel like I’m on my period, nausea, cramps, lightheaded, and dizzy. I couldn’t walk up my steps because of my cramps. All I want to do is sleep, and what’s funny is that I’ve used this medicine before, and it was never like this. I want to stop using it. 3 days left, and I don’t think I can do it."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "The first three days of this medicine were fine. The fourth day, I called off work. Felt like I had a head cold and dizziness. The fifth day, I was able to go to work but felt dizzy and had no energy. I’m glad this is my last day taking this medicine. I also noticed clumpy white discharge on the 3rd and 4th day (feels like a yeast infection), but if it is, after I’m done taking the last dose of this medicine, I’ll go ahead and buy yeast infection medicine. Really don’t want to ever take this medicine again."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I was a bit scared of using this gel at first as I read the reviews first. I went to a clinic for an STD check, which came back that I had BV. The lady gave me a little chat and handed me a box called Zidoval. The first night I used it, it interacted with my bipolar medication and made me feel unwell: fast pounding heartbeat, nausea, dizziness. Then the next four nights I used it without and felt fine. I ate before using it, which made a difference. As far as the BV symptoms, no discharge, no smell after the second night. Tonight's my last night using it, and I feel okay at the moment."
