I am just trying to work out the lenght of my cycles and have a TMI question...
Yesterday I had a tiny bit of darker "older" looking blood, a tiny bit but today I have the fresh red blood and a proper AF. SOOO do I count the start of my cycle from yesterday when I had pretty much nothing or from today when there is "real" blood.
The way they have you do your cycles when under fertility treatment is that day 1 is the first day that you wake up bleeding, as this is usually the first 'proper' day of your cycle. So, I do it that way.

I sometimes have a day or two of spotting like you describe - darker, thicker blood - and was told to start counting from the first day that I wake up with 'normal' red blood.
Yes, spotting or old blood is not considered AF. Fresh bleeding for a full day is CD1. Say you had spotting over night and fresh blood at lunchtime, CD1 would still not be till the next day when you would have a full day of fresh bleeding.
