Because quinoa is typically consumed in the same way as the cereal grasses (wheat, oats, barley, and rye), we group it together with those foods on our website. However, quinoa is not a cereal grass at all, but rather a member of the same food family that contains spinach, Swiss chard, and beets.
Tracking Your Most Fertile Days. Generally, the highest chance of pregnancy is when sex happens1-2 days before ovulation. If you have a regular 28-day cycle, count back 14 days from when you expect your next period to start. Plan on having sex every other day around that time -- say, days 12 and 14.
A woman with a short cycle, for instance, could end up ovulating shortly after she stops bleeding. So if you have sex on the last day of her period, itâs possible your sperm could stick around long enough until her egg is released. Which, of course, could lead to pregnancy. Plus, if her cycles are erratic, she may confuse the start of her period with the light spotting that can occur during ovulation. And if you have unprotected sex during that window, well, that's prime baby-making time.
