When is Day 1?

Hello Ladies,
I know I've either made a thread similar to this, or read one lol....but for the life of me I cannot find it, so please forgive me!

I had a m/c (4-5 weeks) in december. And since then my periods have started weird. This (current) and last cycle I have had spotting for 2 days before any actual bleeding. So which is day 1? The spotting or the bleeding. My periods have always been about 4 days and this is still the same. And still light.

I know this is all sounding jumbled and I apologise.

Last 2 cycles went like this:

Jan 23-24 spotting
Jan 25 - bleeding (if counted as day 1, cycle went for 28 days then on 29th had spotting for 2 days before bleeding)

So am I on a 30 days cycle?

I am so confused!

I remember reading that most woman believe that day 1 is when you get full bleeding. But as this is the 2nd cycle this has happened, is my spotting day 1?

If you cant make out what I'm say, just ask lol

Thankyou :)

I thought it was the first day of full bleeding but to be honest it confuses me almost as much!

Hey,
My last 2 periods have started with spotting for 2 days before she arrived in full force for a day maybe 2 days.

I spoke to my doctor about it when I was there for something else and he said that the spotting was day 1.

I guess they all say something different though! But that is what my doctor told me.
