spotting vs AF

[LG]

This is my first cycle of charting (yay!), but I'm after some advice about what is considered spotting and what is considered AF... TMI warning LOL!

So yesterday I wore a liner and had a bit of brownish CM. When checking CP there was red blood 'up there', but all day all that came out was brownish CM until about 8pm when I went to the loo and some blood went in the loo (sorry, I warned tmi!), and also when I wiped, red blood on paper. Still nothing on the liner though until this morning and it is definately AF!

So what I'm getting at is should I put yesterday as Light AF and therefore CD1? or spotting for yesterday and CD1 today? And does it really matter? I'm taking clomid and supposed to take it CD5-9.

Thanks in advance!

First day of full flow is considered to be CD1, so I'd class today as CD1 and yesterday as spotting.

I concur with Sarah. =)
