Yes, if your period starts in the evening around 8 PM, you should consider that day as Day 1 of your menstrual cycle. The start of your period is marked by the first appearance of bleeding, not by the flow's intensity or the time of day it begins. It doesn't matter if the flow is light or heavy; it's still the start of your cycle. Tracking your cycle starting from this point can help you understand your menstrual pattern better and predict future periods more accurately. It's also useful to note the characteristics of the flow, such as whether it's light or heavy, which can be valuable information for understanding your overall menstrual health.
