strange ?

I am still confused I woke this morning thinking AF will be full force, but just spotting. Do I count that as day one? or once AF is full on? when I check my cervix that's how I knew she was here, pinkish brown was on my finger (sorry TMI) with a ton of CM anyway. I have to put a tampon in today regaudless I have to go out all day so I want to be safe. Just wish it will be here full on so I can set my clearblue monitor...

BTW I started Temping today going to be a challenge because Hailey had a really bad night last night so I was up and down all night. I finally got alittle sleep then she woke at 6:15am my temps were 97.29

When you take your period, you should count even the lightest of spotting as day one.

Hmm I was always told that it was when AF was full force, like full on blood that is when you should count it as day 1. and spotting should never be counted as day 1 as it could be IB or other issues.

Basically you know your body than any of us do and you know what your reg cycles are like, if you are spotting I would NOT count this has Day 1.

From what I have heard and read the 1st day is your full blown period and that you do NOT count spotting... Good luck!

I've also read to not count spotting as day 1...

It's just I recently read that in a book I have got by a medical doctor Hazel Philipps. She wrote a book on choosing the sex of your baby: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Choose-Sex-Your-Baby-Natural/dp/074753313X

There was a woman in it who kept getting boys and wondered why because she did not BD near ovulation. (BD near ovulation for a boy, away for a girl). She wrote to Hazel for help and Hazel worked out that she actually was having sex around the time of ovulation that's why she was having boys. She had miscalculated her days. Apparently she always spotted for a few days before her period and never counted it as day one and so when the lady stopped BD'ing before ovulation - she was actually ovulating and that was why she was getting boys.

The woman started counting the spotting as day one (as recommended by Hazel) stopped BD before ovulation and she got a girl.

Remember some woman can experience spotting during pregnancy due to a more sensitive cervix, dont count spotting as day 1 for AF!!! and Good Luck hun
