Does spotting count as the first day of your cycle, or is it the first day you have actual blood flow? I'm confused as when to count the first day of my cycle, because the last cycle I had two days of spotting before I actually needed protection. So which day was #1? Thanks for your help.

Hi!

CD1 is the first day of actual, red blood flow, not spotting.

HTH!
