I had a partial hysterectomy prior to this infection and it was when I went for my six week check up that dr prescribed this antibiotic. I think it is a great drug . I hear so much about not drinking with it though. I like my wine with dinner but I didnâ??t dare chance it ! Violently ill ? No thank you !

I was having a completely normal pregnancy. I was working during pregnancy and had no issue. I visit ER for discharge and ER provider diagnosed me BV and prescribed Flagly. I was 8 wks and 2 days. I decided to hold off the medication and wait OBGYN provider. After 12days , I had first intial appointment with NP. She did ultrasound, pelvic exam, and blood work was done. I discussed with her about Flagly that was prescribed ER provider and my concern. She said to hold medication and that she will call me after review results. I received phone call 5/22 and was asked to pick up the medication and start taking. I ask again if it safe and I was told yes. I thought i should go to clininc and be tested to make baby safe, but this wasnâ??t my case. Star taking 500 mg metronidazole BID for 7 days after finishing the course, at 11 weeks 2 days pregnant. I start bleeding, pain, I visit ER 2 days , they donâ??t know why I bleeding, each time baby was fine and cervix was close. June 1 , I passed the fetus, I call 911 and went ER. Pathology studies confirm fetus male with no pathological abnormalities. I am DETERMINED that these antibiotics are what caused the miscarriage, on the internet several other people have said they miscarried after taking Flagly. What concerns me most is that all textbooks I read clearly stated that Flagly is contraindicated FIRST TRIMESTER ð??­. If you are Provider please pay attention to this medication. I am devastated ð??¢. Donâ??t give this medication for first trimester. I was stupid to trust her but I will never trust anyone. BV doesnâ??t kill anyone but flagly kill my baby in a a week. I hold off this medicine and I was fine but I trust OBGYN I wish I hold as I did after ER visit.

I took one dose of 4 pills, 500mg each which kind of concerned me being such a high number. No metal taste as mentioned in other posts and no side effects what so ever. I may be a touch thirstier then normal but nothing crazy. Symptoms have gotten better, not as much discharge and its been 10 hours since taking these pills.

3 days in I got a stiff neck which turned into Peripheral neuropathy down right arm/shoulder. Horrible metal taste in my mouth. Discontinued the medication and one week later I'm about 70% recovery- still have numbness in fingers and soreness in arm.
