When is CD1?

[H8624]

This may be a silly question I’m not sure but I’m trying to work out when day 1 of my cycle is so I can work out when I’m ovulating!

My cycle is 23/25 days generally and my period usually starts with a couple of days spotting and then it starts properly. So my question is CD1 is that the first day of spotting, or a few days later when it properly ‘arrives’?

Also when preparing to TTC (this will be month 1) what did you do before? I’ve read about folic acid - did you use this?

When period properly arrives.

Yep, first proper day of period, not spotting.
I use seven seas 'trying to conceive' but there are loads of things out there. Anything with 400mg of folic acid in will do the trick.
Wishing u lots of luck x

Thanks both 😊
