Hi,
I have started taking my temp in the morning to try and work out my cycle. Whilst TTC dd1, which took 18 months, (purely because aunt Flo only came to visit very irregularly and infrequently!!) my cycle went from every 6 weeks from when I first came off the pill, to every 10 weeks . Not great when you are TTC!! I started doing my temp but got pregnant the first cycle I did it on, so not really experienced in doing it!

dd1 now nearly 1 yr!! Planning to start TTC for no 2 Aug/Sept but I want to know my cycle a bit more. Since dd1 born, my periods have been every 5 weeks, but the last 2 were every 6 weeks.

Sorry, I am really rambling on about nothing!!

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS.......I know you are meant to take 1st day of your period as day 1 of your cycle, but I always have 1-2 days of very very light flow, then on 'day 3', the flood gates open (sorry !) Should I take the first hint of my period as day 1, or wait until it seems to properly start as day 1????

(NOT back on the pill if that's relevant)

Thanks girls!!

I asked my GP this as lasyt month I had some spotting before AF really started. She told me it was from the first day of real flow.
