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.
Studies show that couples who time sex to coincide with ovulation get pregnant faster. (The best time to have sex is during the two days before ovulation and on the day you ovulate.) In one study, the pregnancy rates of couples who timed intercourse with ovulation were higher than typically seen among couples trying to conceive: 1  38 percent were pregnant after one cycle (up from 30 percent). 2  68 percent were pregnant after three cycles (up from 60 percent). 3  81 percent were pregnant after six cycles (up from 80 percent).
