Monitoring Days of Cycle

I forgot to ask RE this question but figured to check with you ladies on this..

I use the CBEFM and you know how you consider CD 1 the day after you get your period. Well if I didn't use the CBEFM wouldn't CD 1 be considered the first day I got my period, so technically with the CBEFM I am about one day behind or no?

I was asked what CD I am on this morning, and with the CBEFM I would be CD 8 but without it I would be CD 9. And if this is the case then what day should I go based off of? I was okay with the CD stuff until I saw the RE and now am feeling confused..

Re: Monitoring Days of Cycle

Are you doing IUI or IVF?

Usually the RE will be the one monitoring your cycles...

For the CBEFM, CD 1 is the next day only if AF comes after you'd set the monitor. I always just set the next day as CD 2 anyway, just so it wouldn't be off.
