How do you log your AF in your app…

Hello, this might be a silly question but hopefully you can help.

When logging your periods in an app when do you log the first day and last day?

Sorry if this is tmi…

For example do you log them from the very first day you see any blood even if it’s very light like brown spotting or watery pink and only when you wipe or do you log it from the first day of heavy bleeding?

This month I had 2 days of light bleeding which was watery and pink and didn’t need to use anything as it was only when I wiped and then the following 2 days I had heavy bleeding so bright red with some clots and then 1 day of much lighter bleeding but still needed to use something and today again pretty much nothing just small amount or light pink/brown spotting.

In total that’s 6 days where I’ve had some form of bleeding but only really 3 days of proper bleeding so do I log my period as 6 days long in my app or as 3 days long but with 3 extra days of spotting.

Hopefully Ive made sense here. Thanks Smile

I’m confused because I thought I had finished my period 2 days ago and so I started tracking ovulation on CD7 because I thought it had ended then but then after a gap of nothing I’ve had some more spotting for another 2 days so now Im not sure if my periods actually last longer than I realised. I’m on CD9 now and the bleeding has only just totally stopped today no spotting or anything.

On the app I used I would've logged the spotting for the few days prior to properly bleeding, not as a period, the rest I would log as a period, Day1 being the first day of bleeding not spotting. Check the FAQ's pages on your app, I bet its in there somewhere, or Google.

First day of bleeding not spotting so I wouldn't count those first 2 days

Ok so that would mean I’m actually CD7 now and not CD9 as I thought so that’s really helpful. Thanks ladies Smile
