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.
Ovulation can be delayed by a number of factors including stress, illness, diet, or increased physical activity. If you are trying to get pregnant, having sex a couple days before you ovulate and the day you ovulate will give you the best chances of getting pregnant. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, you will want to not have sex a week before ovulation until 2 days after you have confirmed ovulation. The absolute best way to avoid pregnancy if you are sexually active is to use contraceptive protection or not have sex at all.
