Really really light spotting as day 1 of cycle?

Hi ladies,

The other day I had really really light spotting, I'm talking barely noticable when I peed and I wouldnt have noticed if I hadnt been careful because I'm charting (sorry for too much despcription but just smudges of light brown on the toilet paper). Then the next day I had full blown period. So which day should I consider as the first day of cycle? 

Thanks so much!

  • The first day of red flow is the 1st day of your period.

     ETA: Your chart link doesn't work properly.  It takes me to my chart, not yours.

    Don't count the light spotting day as CD1.  Wait until it's definately red.

    Good luck charting!

  • Wow I've never seen a chart link do that before.  It takes me to my chart to not yours.  Interesting.

  • Same thing happened to me!  I saw my doctor today and she said not to use that first day of spotting...  1 day isn't going to make a big difference anyway.
