There are many things that you can do when trying to get pregnant that can help you to fall pregnant faster. You can chart your temperature to find out when you ovulate, you can get healthy by eating good foods and exercising and you can take fertility supplements. This article will look at four top vitamins and herbs that can help improve your fertility.

Vitex (Agnus Castus / Chasteberry)

Vitex can help balance your hormones, which is why it’s particularly beneficial for women with Polycystic Ovary Symdrome (PCOS) or women who have a luteal phase defect (the time between ovulation and menstruation which is mean to be 11 days or longer).

It takes around three to four months for it to help balance your reproductive hormones before you will really notice much difference but it’s safe to take Vitex throughout your whole cycle so it’s worth adding to your fertility arsenal.

Vitamin B6

Many women swear by Vitamin B6 in increasing their fertility. Another vitamin that is safe to take throughout your entire cycle, Vitamin B6 helps to balance hormones, increase progesterone and improve cervical fluid.

Many women are deficient in B6 without knowing it and that can cause an excess of estrogen in the body making it difficult to conceive.

Just adding 60mg per day is enough to improve many women’s chances of conceiving.

Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis Root)

Dong Quai can help thin out the blood and improve circulation to the reproductive system (which is why it’s beneficial when you are trying to fall pregnant). It shouldn’t be taken while you are menstruating but can be taken throughout the rest of your cycle.

Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is great for improving your cervical fluid and helping you get egg white cervical mucus which is considered the most fertile cervical fluid that you can have. It should only be taken in the first half of your cycle until you ovulate.
