How long are your periods.

I am asking this to understand what's the best way to log periods . I generally get 3 days of flow. Where the first day is less flow and second day is very good flow and same for most part of third day. But by the end of third day its more of a spotting. It can be called heavy spotting and fourth and fifth day spotting keeps reducing . it might take another 2 days for spotting to disappear completely. So just curious when you log periods which day you mark as the end of your period. Because in my case I mark it for 4 days because I feel like for me my periods are like 3 days of flow whether mild or medium and plus one because of considerable amount of spotting.
