What to count as the first day of your period

Courtney
I've read and have been told two different things when it comes to tracking the first day of my period. See, almost every time... I spot for a day or two before actually having a "normal" flow (sorry if tmi!) So would I count the first day of spotting as the first day of my period? Seems so simple but it really makes a difference with my monthly calendars!
