Anyone had fertility blood tests - what counts as cd1?

Hi all, I wondered if any of you who have had fertility blood tests can help me?

I'm TTC and have been sent for day 1(to 3) and day 21 blood tests for FSH, progesterone levels etc.

I spot for 2-3 days before my full period starts, and I usually count the full flow as day 1, and have read the same online, however when I asked my GP to clarify she wasn't sure, and just suggested I go on day 3 of spotting...

So my question is, should I count the first day of spotting as day 1, or the first day of full flow as day 1?

I do temp, and I'm currently on day 2 of spotting and my temp hasn't dropped yet. Its either go tomorrow and hope full flow starts, or go Monday!

Many thanks in advance!

CD1 is first day of actual proper period bleeding.
If you were to become pregnant, your pregnancy would be calculated from the first day of proper period bleeding.

Spotting doesn't count as a period.
