please help im confused???

Im a lil confused on when my period should start...I started spotting on the 23rd of Aug but my period never really started to get bad until the26th of Aug...so do I count my 26 day cycle from the 23rd or 26th? The 23rd was just brown spotting all the way til the 26th....I took a test it said no...you think it could just be too early ?

depending on if its heavy spotting. If you are just having a little brown when you wipe than no, if you need at least a pantyliner than yes.

My doctor told me to start counting from the first day of spotting. Hope that helps!

You count the 1st day of flow that requires a pad or tampon as cd1. You should count from the 26th unless it was heavier somewhere in between.
