hey!
This is my 3rd month off of BCP charting. I started charting so I could learn my cycles and body better.
Last month, I O'ed sort of early, Then on I got AF on CD 26. I spotted brown for 2 days, and got Bright RED heavy flow for one day and then light brown VERY light spotting for the next 2 days.

Do I count the ONE day of RED blood as CD1.

Also, I noticed I was "leaking" early today. It was very runny CM and I had to put on a pantiliner.
Then a little bit ago, I noticed a large amount of very stretchy EWCM. I'm only on CD6. (if I count the RED blood as CD1)

Is is possible to have this, this early? I know I could have a few days of EWCM but it was just really early this cylce. I didnt think it would come so close to my my period.

My chart is located in my siggy. I have not noticed any creamy, or sticky but I also have not really been checking the last two days because I have only been off AF for 2 days.

thanks

Yes, the first day you need more than a pantyliner is cycle day 1.


The #1, most important, most misunderstood rule of charting is this:

Every cycle is unique. There is no such thing as ovulation too early or too late. Anything is possible! Doesn't matter if you have 600 cycles exactly the same, it does not guarantee that the present cycle will follow that same pattern. That's why you judge your fertility day by day, as it happens, based on the evidence your body is giving you.

This is especially true during the first 6-12 cycles after BCP, where funkiness is to be expected.

Also, it's common to have more than one patch of fertile mucous. This happens to me every cycle, it seems, and it's fooled me more than once!

Thanks ladies! its all so confusing... Even though this is my 3rd cycle, its still pretty confusing at times...even though I feel that I know a lot, then something always happens to make me doubt myself..lol
