I have a naturally very regular 28days cycle. This month I was supposed to get my period on the 16th, but I noticed spotting as of the 13th (that never happened to me before), then the normal flow on the 16th.
Can anyone tell me whether I should consider the first day of my LMP the 13th or the 16th? I am trying to conceive and this information will help me determine when I am most fertile.
Is the first day of spotting considered the first day of my LMP, or is it the first day of my regular flow and which is also the 28th day (period due date)?

First of all, there *is* no "ovulation period". You ovulate, then you *have* ovulated. It takes minutes, not days.
Most women ovulate between 12 and 16 days before their next period. 14 days is only an *average*, and, like most averages, is actually *wrong* for most women. (If you expected *every* woman to be 5'4" tall just because that's average, you would usually be wrong!)
As far as whether to consider spotting a period, the answer is no. The first day of your period is the first day of red bleeding. But it *won't* help you determine when you are most fertile.
Please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler for *accurate* information on determining when you are most fertile. It is a great book, and it is written by an expert.

the first day of actual flow is the first day of your LMP - so i'd say the 16th.

I would go with the regular day - spotting can really happen at any time.
Peace (and good luck!)

If it was just spotting then it was not a period until you did start.
Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating.
Good luck

I use a website called mymonthlyplanner.com it gives you all the info you need and I also bought some pills called fertilaid from drugstore.com they worked for me very fine.
