A member asked:

Can i assume that a dark brown period means i actually bled earlier(like 2-3dys) since brown is old blood? how do i count? want to predict my ov date.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: It's only assumption but you can count on it. The best way to predict ovulation is to use ovulation test.
