Question regarding period?

[berit87]

AF showed up today, couple of hours ago, do I count today as CD1 or tomorrow as today hasn't been a full day?

I would count today as day 1 x

 

[berit87]

Thanks, that's what I thought too x

I thought cd1 was the first day you wake up bleeding? So if it started half way through the day, tomorrow would be cd1?

 

[berit87]

Hmm, lots of different opinions... But when mine starts it starts full on straight away... I will count today as cd1 as it was earlier on in the day but will use opk etc to be sure later

I thought it was first day it started regardless of what time of day?! But there's always the possibility of me being wrong!! x

i always count the day i start bleeding as cd1 even wen its middle of the night but i do write on callender that it was a af that couldnt make mind up what day lol so i will just mark on callender it could be day b4 or day after depending when she arrives iykwim x

 

[berit87]

Brilliant, thank you, I will count today x

They say to count the day of full flow as CD1 so if it's full flow I'd start from today too. x

 

[berit87]

Can't wait to get to CD10!! X

 

[russellmuscle]

CD1 is classed from when you first have your 'full flow'

eg if you spot for a few days or have pink CM you dont count this, only the first day of a full flow is counted as CD1.

hope this helps xxx

 

[berit87]

Thanks!! It was full on yesterday so counted that as day 1 xxx

 

[berit87]

Quick question, probably stupid, if I had some brown leftover this morning but nothing since, do I count today as end of period or tomorrow on my tracker?

As far as I am aware, the last day of AF isn't really that significant so it wouldn't really need to be charted at all but if you wanted to personally I would put it as today being the last day xx

Fab, thank you! I suppose you're right, it's more for knowing how long my cycles are. Xx
