Question about trying to conceive....

Hi all! I hope to be joining this board at some point but have a question that I'm hoping you can help with. DH and I have just recently started trying and I have a dilemma in trying to figure out my fertile days....

I usually spot for a few days each month prior to really getting my period, if that makes sense. When it asks what the first day of your last period is, should I count the day I started spotting, or the day I really got an actual period??? PLEASE HELP! Chat Icon I'm such a novice at this!

I dont think you would count the spotting days but it would probably depend more on how heavy the spotting is....

To be honest, I would just take all the guess work out of it and go buy yourself the CBE digital OPK.

Good luck!

Re: Question about trying to conceive....

you are supposed to count day one as full bleeding, not spotting.

I would count the first day of a full flow (heavy period) as day one.

Re: Question about trying to conceive....

I'm the same way and my doctor told me to count the first day of my period, not the days of spotting.

Or just BD every other day when you aren't bleeding. That way you are covered no matter when you ovulate. I don't think your hubby will complain. Chat Icon
