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.
spotting is the beginning of what will be your period.
any sort of spotting either before or after is considered to be your period.
The day when flow begins, not spotting
If your period is one day late and the next day you have light spotting, it could be the beginning of your period. It is quite normal for the first couple of days of your period to be light.
No. Take a pregnancy test.
Hi, Its not uncommon for periods to arrive 2-3 days earlier than usual. Yes the first day of your period is as soon as the bleeding starts, whether it be spotting or heavy flow.
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.
The first day of your period is the first day of bleeding - actual blood, not spotting (pink or brown discharge) - this is also the first day of your menstrual cycle.
21 days after the first day of your last period usually
If your spotting one day, then get your period the next day, that would indicate that your are NOT pregnant...
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.
