Confused with cycle

im 4 days from cycle im use to starting early late but this is totally new, i went to bathroom and when i wiped it was light brown so i wiped again and it was light pink just on toilet paper. ive never started out like this so my question is this do i count this as day one or wait for actual bleed?

hi pamela. if mine starts out like that then i do count that as when i started. idk if that is the “right” way. but its what i do

I log it all on an app and sometimes count it as just spotting if it only happens once or twice in a day. If it happens every time and eventually rolls into a bleed I call that day 1.

This is same as my pattern of periods in Peri. My periods start like this..first light brown spotting for 1 or 2 days then actual bleeding starts.
When i saw light brown spot i always thought .may be its just spotting this time and they may end ..may be its going to be my last period…But this happens from last 4 or 5 months
Peri is very confusing ..U donot know what next..and when it will end

thanks ladies ill mark it on my app as day 1 changing up yet again but they just wont leave lol

looking at my app cycles is changing yet again this is second period this month thats new, also logging this one it says from day of last cycle to this one is 22 days between seems closer then usual.

Hi pam that happened to me just getting earlier and earlier! Always counted as day 1

thanks hope the end of all this is near

seems cycles is getting shorter this one lasted only 4 days, could this explain all the weird horrible symptoms lately and getting more bizarre since October
