About once a month, the uterus grows a new, thickened lining (endometrium) that can hold a fertilized egg. When there is no fertilized egg to start a pregnancy, the uterus then sheds its lining. This is the monthly menstrual bleeding (also called menstruation or menstrual period). The MC is measured from the first day of menstrual bleeding, Day 1, up to Day 1 of your next menstrual bleeding. Although 28 days is the average cycle length, it is normal to have a cycle that is shorter or longer.

Implantation bleeding is typically lighter and shorter than a regular period, often described as spotting rather than heavy bleeding. If you experience bleeding that is heavy like your period, it may not be implantation bleeding and could indicate the start of your menstrual cycle or another issue. It's important to monitor the bleeding and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns or if the bleeding persists.
Day one of the menstrual cycle is THE DAY YOU START BLEEDING, THE DAY YOU START GETTING YOUR MENSTRUAL FLOW. This is the day you start counting your cycle, until you get the first day of the next period, this is, that is the fist day of that new cycle. DO NOT start counting from the last day of your period, that is a common mistake. It is important when you visit a physician to know when was your last menstrual period, so try and keep record of it in some form of agenda or excel page. When a doctor asks, "when was your last menstrual period?" he or she will count on you to remember this date, it is important health information and you should be responsible to remember it. He or she are expecting to hear the date of the FIRST DAY of your last, and therefore, most recent menstrual period. I'm a general physician, so, I'm telling you, for us, this is important.
You can't help to start your menstrual period, it will only start when it is due to start. Your menstrual period is controlled by your menstrual cycle, a domino affect of hormonal changes within your reproductive organs, you can't skip phases of your cycle or speed it up to start menstruation early.
