During my annual exam my doc asked me if I'd noticed a pink discharge. I hadn't, but after the exam I noticed pink, then brown blood. The day after that I started my period a week early. When my period ended I had the brown stuff again. I had left a tampon in 2-3 days after my last period so I am wondering if it came from that or the one time I have had sex in the last 7 months. It was three weeks after the tampon was lef tin and a little over a week after I had sex. When my tests came back the doc said my pap was fine and my clhamydia test was negative, but there was "some bacteria" - didn't clarify what that meant and now I have to wait until Monday to find out. Anyway, she prescribed me oral Metronidazol. I am also on 325 mg. Ferrous Sulfate 3X/day for severe anemia. The meds made me sick and gave me a headache so I told her I couldn't continue taking it and asked for something else. She has now prescribed me Metrogel. Since I had a "reaction" to the oral form will the gel do the same thing and should I be taking it? There are so many scary side effects listed on the package insert I don't dare to start it. Thanks.
