Question about 1st CD

Hi everyone -


After approx. 72 days, AF decided to return this morning. I was really hoping to be pregnant but I guess not. My doctor gave me clomid to try for the first time. I usually have really light periods. Sometimes with a few days of brownish/red spotting at the beginning. I think this period is going to be light (but I guess it is to early to tell). It is red (Sorry TMI) and not very much. So do I count this as my first cycle day? Since it is more red than brown?


Thank you for your help!

Hi Anna!!


I had a similar cycle last time around...it last 71 days, and have to have AF brought on by provera. So I know the feeling...not fun!! My Dr. also gave me Clomid to try this cycle, and it worked! I O'd around the same time as my other "normal" cycles.


I would count this as CD1, since there is more RED than brown. Thats what we look for, is RED blood. Its still early in the day, so AF is probably just getting started, and will probably be full force soon enough.


Hope that helps!! Good luck with clomid! :)
