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 Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) answered. Ovulation usually takes place about halfway through a normal 28-day menstrual cycle. After ovulation, the body produces high levels of the hormones progesterone and estrogen. The hormones thicken the lining of the uterus in anticipation of a fertilized egg. If no fertilization occurs after ovulation, after about 14 days the lining of the uterus is shed to begin menstruation.
