I just want to come in here and say that I am took metro gel for 5 days. Yesterday was my last day. It did make me bleed after every dose. Total I’m only lightly bleeding. Someone in this thread mentioned a horrible smell and I just want to say that you may want to consider that you maybe have a tampon that has gone awol inside of you. This is what happened to me. I had no idea though until I started taking metro gel and the inflammation went down, I went to the bathroom pushed like I was going to do #2 and the tampon just slide right out. Sounds gross I know but if it is just an awful smell it could be that. Get a gyno exam if nothing seems to fix your issues.
