Period - which should I count as day one??

Which should I count as day one?

Waited for period to start this months cycle of IVF - I was three days past due date and started light bleed at 10pm (barely noticeable on tissue)

The next morning it started only slightly heavier and I then had quite a large dark clot the following morning. Bleeding has seemed to be quite consistent all day light flow until present.

I usually have quite light periods but not as light as when this period started, or maybe I just caught it earlier.

Question is - which would you count as day 1? I am due to start nohisterone on day 18. Does it really matter?

The clot worried me as it's not usual for me. I have been trying naturally so I am concerned this is some kind of very early miscarrage.

The days are essentially 2 hours apart, so I would round up and start from 2nd one.

Our clinic defined day 1 as having flow before midday

My RE had me count it as flow before noon is day 1.
