when should I take CD 1 from? I am stuck in bed with vomitting..GREAT timing! Not only for our TTC, but it's my daughters 7th birthday today, she's got it too! So being stuck in bed I decided to read my "choose the sex of your baby" book again and it says even if you get a small smugde of brown blood this is CD 1. My Af was due on Saturday, I got brown spotting on Friday, should this be CD 1? If so that means we are on CD 11 and SHOULD BD tonight as our final time......can I do it....not bloody likely! Otherwise we might have to Bd up to CD 12 and with my O between CD 15 and 17, this COULD be too close considering we have conceived 3 boys, DH is classed as fertile ADVISE????

I understand CD 1 to be the first day of full bleeding if its before midday...after midday CD 1 is the following day. I dont think spotting counts as CD1 but someone can correct me there!

Sperm can live for between 3-5 days, so if you O between cd15-17 & are having sex on day 11, you may be really lowering your chances for conception. As Chilldog has said, cd1 is the first day of full flow red blood.
