First day of period?

[Cori]

I don't know if I should have counted the first day of my last period as Thursday 2nd or Friday 3rd. I was spotting from lunch time on the Thursday and got a light AF late evening, but it didn't get heavier till the Friday, so I counted it from then. But now I'm thinking I should have counted it from the Thursday, cos you can put spotting or light flow on FF, can't you. So have I messed my chart up now. What do you all do if you start AF in the evening? Count it from the next day?

 

[Snuggle]

Whenever AF starts whether its spotting or heavy is what I count as the first day no matter whether its evening or not (although I cant remember the last time mine started in evening, its always morning)

Oh right, so that means I won't be due on till tomorrow then, cos that will be my usual 24 day cycle. I wonder if I should change that chart or just leave it?

I always count day one when it is full flow blood, When you put spotting into fertility friend it does not count it as cd1 it only starts a new cycle when you put in light, medium or heavy.

I think it was light flow by about 9pm, so would you call that day 1?

 

[A&J]

I would put into ff lightflow and it will sort it out for you, but yes I would say that was day 1 I wish our bodies was not confusing

 

[Cori]

lol. I don't know whether to change it on FF or leave it. What do you reckon?

 

[Cori]

I've changed it. I thought I would have to chnage the whole chart, but only had to change the 1st day and it adjusted the rest for me.
