I've only been taking a prenatal and Vitamin D (because I recently discovered I'm deficient -- like most Americans -- and that it could have some affect on fertility). I have had a few months where I was on herbal supplements given to me by my acupuncturist...not sure what was in it, but I'll tell you what. My periods became less painful and much easier to deal with. Plus, I started ovulating at a more normal time. So I really attribute that to the herbs. I've heard good things about CoQ-10, wheat grass and royal jelly, but haven't tried it

I take a regular multi vitamin, folic acid + dha, multi mineral, B complex, and just for shts and giggles I started taking Fertilaid for woman. I bought this fertailaid years ago and just left if it sitting in my drawer- found it recently with an expiration of 2014 and figured- why not try this before it expires LOL. I will not be buying another bottle, so it's just a one month supply.

I have him on the Fertilaid, countboost, and motility boost. If it takes 3 months to kick in we were going to give it 6 months before we ditch it.
