Hi Charlotte,

I'd go by the red blood to start counting CD1.

The brown stuff sounds like it is just starting to happen - that is the old stuff.

The red is a definite sign that it is happening because it is newer blood.

Flow can vary, generally I find CD1 to be light and CD2 heavier.

I had brown spotting yesterday, but red stuff when wiping this morning and cramps - so I am counting today as CD1.

Hey!! it seems we are cycle buddies this cycle.
