Its not Stupid!!! Its something we dont think about until you're ttc. Its the first day you bleed to the day before the next time you bleed

The first day of full red bleed is cycle day 1, you would count that all the way up to the day BEFORE your next full red bleed, so if you start your period on cycle day 30, then your cycle was 29 days long!
