Ok I know this is a stupid question but because my faience and I are trying to have children I'm starting to pay more attention to my cycle. When do I put in that I have officially started? because for at least a week before I see the red blood I see brown mucusy clots (I guess you could call it)just little ones and brown thick and thin liquid with it. Now did I officially start when that starts or what is it? Because if that is my period it goes for a week and 5 days. I'm so confused please help
