What do you consider as the start/stop of your period?

Alright ladies, I think I might be logging my periods wrong which might be effecting my predicted fertile days. I was logging as soon as I had spotting and counted the last day of spotting as the end. Now, I've recently learned you should not count spotting as either the start or finish, you should only be counting active bleed days.

For example- I spotted Monday night, but actively bled Tuesday, so Tuesday is the start date.

What confused me is how to log the end. Last day active bleeding or the end of any spotting?

Plus what if (like me this week) you actively bled 2 days and the third day just spotting with one bloody wipe and clear from there.

My husband and I have been trying for a year and a half with nothing to show for our efforts but a miscarriage and a lot of frustration.
