I hope this isn't too disgusting -- warning for frank discussion of bodily functions!



I put a discreet little "X" on my calendar for start and stop days. I had a dr. tell me to start counting the first day you see any blood, even if it isn't full-blown flow yet. I count "stop" as the first day I can get by with just a panti-liner or something, or not need anything at all but maybe still have a little spotting.
