Question

Trying to track my periods to conceive!

Answer

Day 1 is when you first see bright red, fresh blood.

Answer

I think as long as you mark it the same way every time, it doesn’t matter quite as much which one you go by. However, I want to add that tracking ovulation is the best way to be able to conceive, not necessarily tracking periods, even though that does help.

Answer

I have always counted spotting as day 1 because once you start spotting you know that it’s going to increase with time until full bleeding
