What counts as my period?

Question

I have been spotting for the last two days, very dark brown, resembling the last day of Af. I thought it may have been implantation bleeding since I ovulated about 2 weeks ago and baby danced a couple times that week. I tested this morning, ..negative. Now, I have a full period, which day counts as the first? Today or Thursday?

Answer

First day of red flow.

Answer

FULL FLOW counts as your first day of AF. Read FAQ.

Answer

Every woman is different so I always count spotting as first day cuz mine always starts as spotting as then gets heavier. Even when I was on the pill that's how it started.

Answer

Ah! I'm so conflicted! And I am also in denial right now. I can't believe I am not pregnant. It's so annoying. I'm definitely going to start using opk's this month.

Answer

I've always heard the first day of spotting is day one

Answer

I guess I will just see how long it actually lasts! It usually lasts 5-6 days.

Answer

Hi
​I believe the spotting counts as first day! My doctor always told even it's just a little to always count it, so that's what I do. You can always call and speak to the nurse at your doctors office and ask her just do double check and make sure it's correct!
