Regarding the book Taking Charge...

of your Fertility, she says to count your Day 1 as real bleeding, not spotting. On the First Response OPK, it says count Day 1 as spotting or bleeding....I'm confused. My first day and a half at least are spotting/brown flow. What would you do???

I'm a little confused but are you talking about your period? I really can't help you much as I generally bled heavily the whole time.

I would not worry too much and simply determine your average cycle length in general and work from there, try the OPKs and then RELAX.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have always counted the first day of real bleeding as cycle day one.

I wouldnt use any slight spotting, brown spotting as day 1.

She goes on to say in the book how brown spotting is actually leftover from LAST cycle...and not current.

Also I saw an RE...and they always told me to count day 1 as full bleeding or VERY heavy spotting.

I know when I went to schedule my HSG test they told me day one of my cycle is considered red/heavier bleeding so I would count day one as the heavier bleeding not spotting.
