Spotting and periods!

Keo

Hey everyone! I have PCOS and I was wondering how yall go about revording your periods. Let me explain. I have super irregular periods to the point where I will start spotting and I'm unsure if its my period cause it is light enough that it doesnt show up on my pad or under wear but lasts quite a few days. It was like 6 days of this spotting until it started picking up (and even then just barley) to where it was reaching the pad. My question is in this case would you consider the first day of spotting your CD1 or the first day it reaches your pad as CD1? And like I'm talking like most of the time it was 1 time on each of the days that there was spotting on the TP not every time I went to the bathroom. Please help!?!?!
