CD1??

[Anonymous]

Hi. I am starting to chart as we are TTC. I am trying to figure out what to call cycle day 1. I spotted for 3 days before I had full flow. When I say spotted, I mean barely enough to make it to my underwear, but there everytime I wiped. So do I call first day of spotting cycle day 1 or do I call today CD1 when I had normal flow that actually required a tampon? I know it probably truly doesn't matter what CD1 is - just matters when I ovulate, but I am going to use the ovulation prediction strips this month and it says to start on CD10. I don't want to waste them and use them 3 days earlier than necessary if I am really on CD7. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Full flow before 5pm is considered Day 1 in the fertility treatment world...

full flow is day 1, forget about the spotting. Before 5pm as PP said.
