Hi,I am 36 weeks pregnant and my dr. just let me know I have an overgrowth of vaginal bacteria. He prescribed Metro Gel (Vandazole) and i'm very afraid to take the intravaginal treatment.Did anyone take this drug this far into pregnancy without a problem.

Please help...i have to start the medicine tonight.

i have taken the metro-gel just relax and insert the applicator as far as it will go about three inches. and insert nice and slowly.and dont wear underwear let the vagina breathe will taking the mediccation. for better effect take twice once in morning and then at bedtime. or just take like doc said. goodluck it felt strange for the first day but i got in there. and dont throw the med away if you get it again you can use the left over medication again.

If your doctor recommended that you take that then I would say take it. A doctor wouldn't prescribe you something this far that could hurt you. I know that if you get too much vaginal bacteria build-up it could cause complications.
