When you start your period if you have brown old blood first do you count those days as your 28 days or do you start counting when the blood is red?

When you start your period if you have brown, old blood first you count those days as the first day of your 28 day menstrual cycle. You do not have to start counting day one when the blood is red.

Do you count the brown blood as the beginning of a period?

No, when counting your menstrual cycle day one is the first day of true bleeding. Brown discharge is spotting, small amouts of blood mixing with discharge as you start to bleed, but you don't count this as day one.


When is day one of your cycle?

Day one of the menstrual cycle is THE DAY YOU START BLEEDING, THE DAY YOU START GETTING YOUR MENSTRUAL FLOW. This is the day you start counting your cycle, until you get the first day of the next period, this is, that is the fist day of that new cycle. DO NOT start counting from the last day of your period, that is a common mistake. It is important when you visit a physician to know when was your last menstrual period, so try and keep record of it in some form of agenda or excel page. When a doctor asks, "when was your last menstrual period?" he or she will count on you to remember this date, it is important health information and you should be responsible to remember it. He or she are expecting to hear the date of the FIRST DAY of your last, and therefore, most recent menstrual period. I'm a general physician, so, I'm telling you, for us, this is important.

Every woman's cycle starts on the first day of their menstruation. First day of menstruation is usually cycle day one. So start counting on that day and they end it the day before your next period will arrive. So if you have a 29 day cycle that would mean that you have 29 days before your next cycle will come.

If you count your cycle from the day it starts when do you stop counting?

Count from the 1st day of your "Actual" Period From the first day of your last period until your next period, depending on how long your cycle length is.

For example, if ur period starts on June 1, then that's Day 1 of ur cycle. The first day of your period is the first day of bleeding, which is the first day of your cycle.
