So I've been anxiously waiting for cd1 to hopefully start IVF cycle and I've been spotting for a couple of days. I wore a light tampon last night bc the spotting was heavier and it was full this morning. Put another light one in and was full in about 5 hours. Can I go ahead and call it cd1 at this point? The only reason I ask is bc usually my cd1 is crazy heavy...but I've been a little off since starting IF treatments. Nurses always say "full flow"...so I assume a light flow is still "full flow"?

It sounds like full flow to me. If you are soaking a tampon in a number of hours, that's not spotting, that's flowing. Also, when in doubt, call the RE's office.
I agree. Sounds like full flow to me. I only count it spotting if its brown and very, very light. The second it turns red and is any type of flow (light, medium, heavy) I would consider it CD1.

Ok good! That's what I assumed, but then I started thinking maybe I'm being over anxious. :
