No, spotting and breakthrough bleeding does not count as the first day of your period. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding is an annoyance that occurs as an unwanted side effect of Birth Control. However, frequent spotting or breakthrough bleeding can also be a sign that you need a higher dosage of birth control.
When you have your period, more than spotting comes out. I'm on a period myself and the first i had mine, it wasn't spotting first. But it's actually what you believeis the first day. So sure, spotting could count as the first day.
On the first day of bleeding or even spotting.
The first day of your period is the first day of your menstrual cycle, so start counting from there. The first day of your period is the first day of bleeding, don't count the days of spotting before menstruation.
The first day of your period is the first day of bleeding - you don't count days when you are spotting (brown or pink discharge).
The first day of your menstrual cycle is the first day of your period. You onlystart counting on the first day you see true bleeding, don't count from when you start spotting.
spotting is the beginning of what will be your period.
No, spotting is not the first day of your period, it is when you have enough blood to wear a pad or tampon. I know because I asked my doctor about this.
You should count from the last day of your period to the first of your next.
The day when flow begins, not spotting
Depending on your cycles... I personally count the last day of my period...
Generally, if your spotting that singnals the beginning of your period. Unless you spot a couple days prior to your light flow, consider the spotting your first day.
It's relatively common. It's a form of pms.... if you're tracking your cycle, the day your period starts is the first day of FLOW. A few days of spotting before your period really starts does not count as part of your "proper" period. It's one of the top mistakes women make when they're tracking their period.
