What should I determine as CD1?

[starz01]

Good Morning everyone,

I really need some help. I've taken Primolut N to force AF so I can start my first cycle of Clomid. Last night I was getting ready for bed around 10.30pm when I noticed AF had started but only very light. This morning it's still quite light but my doctor has given me instructions to take Clomid CD 2 - 6.

My question is what is technically classed as CD1? The day you first see any bleeding or first day of full flow? I've always marked the first day of any bleeding as CD1 but because I'm taking these pills I need to be more medically technical about it and I really don't want to mess it up. Should I start Clomid today and note CD1 as yesterday or do I note today as CD1 and start them tomorrow?

Being a women is just too confusing at times...

I always went by when the bleeding started but if it started later at night then the next day was CD1 for me. Good luck with your cycle!! Just a tip though, take your clomid at night it will lessen the symptoms you have throughout the day

My nurse says if AF comes after 2pm its not counted until the next day. Hope that helps

Ive never used clomid but was told its the first FULL day of blood.

HTH

Yeah, my clinic says if it starts after lunch, count the next day as cd1.

my OBGYN told me it was always the first MORNING you awoke with any bleeding.
