Why do you add es to the end of the word volcanoes and only s to the word photos?
There is no doubt about it; English spelling can be a nightmare, even for native speakers. As it turns out, photo is an abbreviated form of photograph, the actual word implied in 'photo'.

Do you ovulate 7 days after your period or when?
You ovulate 14 days before your period, so in a perfect 21 day cycle, 7 days after your last period but that's not typical in every woman. Typically, a woman ovulates 7-14 days after the first day of her period. For example, if your last period started on October 3, you would be in prime ovulation time between October 10-17. Due to the fact that every woman's body is different, it is possible to ovulate outside of that range. An easy way to determine ovulation is to pay attention to your vaginal secretions. When you notice that those secretions are the consistency of egg whites, stringy and clear, you most likely are in your fertile time. Such a consistency makes the vaginal environment more friendly to the reception of semen. The thick, "snotty" like mucus holds the semen inside the vagina, therefore increasing the chances of pregnancy.
