When to count cycle day 1??

Probably a dumb question...i usually dont spot more than one day. Usually one day then AF comes...this is day 2 of spotting and i am supposed to call the RE on cycle day 2 of AF. I dont count cycle day one until there is flowage...right? I always am confused on when i should count cycle day 1. If there is a little bit of blood or when there is enough to use a tampon.

Thanks...I called and they said to call back when its flow not to count spotting. I wonder why some doctors are so different...makes me question weather what is right.

My RE does not count spotting, but when the full flow comes, but I would say you are better off calling them now to be on the safe side!

My RE always told me to count  when I start my cycle, no matter how light it is, as day 1.   I would call them and tell them exactly what you typed.  They can let you know for sure... but you don't want to miss you window of opportunity, just in case they are like my RE.
