I am super into herbs and natural living so I thought I might post some information on this. I am not telling anyone to use these herbs but I find the information interesting and informative. If you think this might help you, please talk to a someone in the medical profession who is open-minded to see if they might help you. Any opinions good or bad are greatly appreciated.

Stinging Nettle
This is my most favorite all around female herb. Not only does it tone and nourish the uterus, it also promotes strengthening of the kidneys and adrenal glands. If you are or have ever been a coffee drinker, this herb is for you!
One, two, or even more cups per day of this high mineral tea which is also loaded with chlorophyll (a detoxifier) for several months goes a long way toward preparing a womans body for pregnancy and for sustaining the embryo once conception occurs.
Nettle tea is also fantastic in preparing for the babys birth as it is extremely high in Vitamin K, which allows the Mother to safely skip the newborn vitamin K shot knowing that her newborn babys blood will already contain an ample amount.
Continuing to drink nettle tea while breastfeeding promotes successful lactation and a copious milk supply as well!
Red Clover
Red clover contains high amounts of calcium and magnesium. These two minerals are believed to be of high importance in affecting a womans ability to conceive.
Red clover contains every single trace element needed by the glandular system. As such, this alkalizing herb is probably the single most effective plant used for balancing of the hormones needed for conception to take place. Balancing the body acid/alkaline PH, and thereby, the uterus PH, goes a long way toward favoring conception.
Brew your red clover tea along with peppermint (or another type of mint if you prefer), which acts as a sexual stimulant. To make a powerful infusion of this herb, take one ounce of red clover and a teaspoon of peppermint and steep in one quart of hot filtered water for 4 hours.
Drink this mixture as desired once it has cooled down and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Red Raspberry
Red Raspberry leaves, particularly the wild kind, are very high in calcium. Like Nettle and Red Clover, Red Raspberry leaves serve as a soothing uterine tonic.
The fertility promoting effects of Red Raspberry are enhanced in combination with other herbs, particularly Red Clover.
To make a powerful infusion of this herb, steep 1/2 ounce Red Raspberry and 1/2 ounce Red Clover in one quart of hot water for 4 hours. Refrigerate the unused portion after cooling.
With each cup of this herbal infusion, add 5-15 drops of either Dong Quai root tincture or False Unicorn root tincture to further enhance the fertility effects.
As with all herb usage I suggest researching each one extensively before using them.
