When exactly is Day 1?!

[tigwig]

I am trying to determine how many days is in my menstrual cycle. Do I class the 1st day my period begins even though it is more like brown discharge to start with (sorry tmi) or say day 1 is when it is in full flow?!!!!!

yes, too much info!!!

day 1 is the day your period starts.. whatever it looks like!

if you're counting days I guess I should wish you good luck :o)

Yes day one is the first day, regardless of appearance. The experts say most women's cycles are 28 days, but mine has always been between 32 and 34.

They say I'll give birth on 13th June, but that's based on a 28 day cycle, so I would have thought it would be several days after that.
