A member asked:
Do u count spotting as the start of a period or when it's heavy enough to use a tampon? ttc & don't know when my period starts to count 2 ovulation.

Full flow: Good question. I advise my patients to count the first day of full-flow as day 1 instead of preliminary spotting, but you should go with what your doctor advises.
