A question of what CD??

I am on CD24, counting from the first day that I had red blood. BUT for 2 days I had light/medium spotting (pinkish/brownish/dark red) and was told not to count CD1 until it was "more than just spotting". So would you consider me a true CD24 or CD26???

TIA!!!

IMO, CD24. I usually spot a couple days before and usually start counting when it starts flowing. Even if it's pinked tinged or a little bit red spotting, I wait. There's usually a marked difference between the 2 for me.

Good luck,

GA Amie! Boy, this is a tough one...I've heard first day of red too, but after my m/c I had a lot of the two/three days of spotting thing before af finally came light and then was gone as fast as she came and an ob/gyn (not mine- I was referred to him from my midwife who thought I might have had pcos or endo) said that in my case the first day of spotting before af would count as cd 1 because my cycles were pretty much always the same length- 27 or 28 days before. So, I'd say even if the spotting wasn't normal for af, but your cycles are pretty consistent in length then count the spotting days as cd 1 and 2, but if not and this cycle seems "off" maybe a bit longer in length- don't count them and start with red flow as cd1. Oooh, hoping I see you posting bfp here really soon!!! +++++ PV's and ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) LOLove, Connie

My thoughts -- 24. We chart when tta, so are pretty good at it. Day 1 is full red flow. Although, just my opinion.
