Hi my last period day was April 18th and it lasted 7 days. Which was caused by the mexdry- progesterone pills I took to start clomid.(since from January I didn't have AF after leaving BC)

I thought I would get my regular cycles back after taking that one cycle of progesterone pills but I did not. So I was all lost about My cycles. They were just a mystery,(I found out everything was normal on ultrasound thank god) blood work showed my total testosterone lil high,(that's when ultrasound was made they wanted to check if I had PCOS) progesterone was low and that estrogen was a little dominant because of a high BMI.all that I was to do is eat healthy and exercise and try to get my cycles back naturally didn't want to go on to artificial hormones.

just about August 23rd I started to notice some brownish staining not much but the discharge or watery discharge wasn't really clear but by the days it got darker and darker and just about yesterday August 30 I finally saw blood clots tiny blood clots when you're having your period.(red tiny hangy string thing)

When should I have marked as cycle day one, August 23 or yesturday the 30 ?

I heard It should be when u see blood and not brown or spotting but I want to make sure bc I seeing my hormones or system try get back to normal after months of no AF.
