Calculating haidh when seeing green discharge

Q: I counted from 2010 when my haidh started till now and I have 1 doubt regarding it. Suppose my haidh days have to start from 7 april, now I get a green discharge on 5 april, but I may not have any discharge on 6th, 7th,and 8th. And I may get green discharge on 9th. So when should I consider my haidh starting from 7th or 9th?

A: You will count from the 5th if there was a valid period of tuhr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
