Probably a really stupid question

Before I begin, I'm sorry if I get a bit graphic. I figured if I can't ask you girls, then who can I ask? I tend to ramble, so I will try to get to the point. Last cycle was a 32 day cycle. It lasted for 7 days and it was pretty heavy for 5-6 of those days. Before that, since I have PCOS, I hardly ever got my period. Now assuming that this month was also going to be a 32 day cycle, my period should have started this Monday. All day Sunday I had a headache, which is a sure sign AF is coming for me (even when I was on BCP). Anyway I thought, she'll be here tomorrow (Mon). Well Mon came and there was not much. Just slight "spotting" only when I wiped, nothing on the pad. So I thought, maybe tomorrow (Tues). All day Tuesday nothing but the occasional wipe. That night I spent 30 minutes on the eliptical machine and after that there was a "heavy" wipe, but still nothing on the pad. I thought for sure that it would be here today. Every time I went to the bathroom today there was a slight something but nothing major. On my FF chart I entered it like this: Mon-spotting, Tues-spotting & Today-light (only because it was there everytime I went to the bathroom). FF then made today my CD1. My question (finally! Confused) is this. Did I do that right? I know they say CD1 is supposed to be a flow, but AF just doesn't want to flow.

I hate that my body doesn't cooperate with me!Angry

Well, so much for making it short and sweet. Sorry!Embarrassed

Any of your comments, ideas, experiences are welcome.

Thanks!

    Sure, there is not much on there. I only started charting my temps yesterday. I just don't know how to post it here.

    I tried. I hope you can see it??

    Oh lol, I forgot, right! It's your first cycle :)

    Yes yes, you did that right. FF will take anything light and beyond to be red flow, and therefore cd1.

    I don't chart, I have enough to worry about.  LOL  I just wanted to tell you that I sympathize with you.  I had a cycle like that last time and it drives me batty.  I started counting day 1 as the first day when I actually saw a flow of blood - but then my cycle this month was only 24 days so who the heck knows?  LOL  Moving on.  It's all very frustrating and confusing but luckily there are a lot of experts here to help.
