Question about Cycle day 1

Ok so I took my last Provera pill on Saturday. The last couple of days on the pill I was spotting a little. I know I don't consider that CD 1. But Sunday I was bleeding a little bit more than spotting but it was still very light. TMI** Most of the day I could only see it when I wiped but some did make it to the pad. So does that count as CD 1?? Or do I just need to wait and see what Monday brings??

I would see what Monday brings you. Have other AFs started off the same way? I think it would be safe to count your first day of red as CD1. I typically have brownish spotting before the red AF. Once I see the red on the tp, that is my sign that she's here, even though it's still fairly light in terms of flow.

Thanks. Today was red it was just a really light flow. Usually my AF shows up fast and heavy. I guess its different because I had to take the Provera. I guess I'll see what happens today.

Hi,


I always consider the first day of spotting - even light - as CD1.

My nurse told me that Day 1 is when you first see blood, regardless how heavy it is.
