First day of my cycle?

mollyflowersmollyflowers member
in TTC after 35

I have read so many things...help!

When my cycle starts I have red spotting that I have to wear a panty liner or sometimes a light pad. About 3-4 days later I have actual flow. What do you think I would count as the start of my cycle?

    I don't count the spotting.. Day 1 for me is actual flow but then again I only spot the day before.  I am not sure what I would do in your case.  Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion.  :)

    My doctor told me to start with the first day of actual flow, and not to the spotting days so that's what I've been doing.

    Fertility Friend definitely says that the first day of actual flow is the day you count as CD1. If I were in your shoes, I would call that 3rd or 4th day - where a pantyliner isn't gonna cut it anymore - Day 1 for your cycle.
