1st day of cycle?
Just out of curiosity...does anyone know what is considered the 1st day of your period? for most of my life, i was told the 1st day of your period is the day where you start spotting, but there's not really a flow. However, recently, someone told me that the first day of spotting is not considered the start of your period, rather the first day of a heavier / heavy flow is considered the 1st day.
see that is what i don't get the doctor told me it was when i see red blood on my pad that spotting did not count. which is true? hu maybe thats were i went wrong if any body out there has an idea please please let me know. thanks i learn something every day. i love this forum
When I was seeking fertility treatments and taking clomid, the specialists told me that the first day of my cycle was spotting. The body has recognized 'no pregnancy' at that time, and is beginning to shed the uterine lining...even if you 'spot' for 2 days before red blood, it would be considered 'DAY 1'.
what can I say...I try! :) Since i started working full time, I have little time during the week to browse medhelp...but on the weekends...i'm a medhelp junkie! (though I rarely post....i just like reading the questions and comments)
