Hi everyone, what a supportive thread!
I concieved when I was 35 and it took me 3 months. I had been off the pill for 9 months but had taken it since 19. I was doing a lot of research prior to TTC as I'm impatient and wanted it to happen fast. (Hoping to) I can share some research I did maybe it helps someone.
What I took was:
Prenatal
Royal Jelly, fresh from vitaminshoppe in LA
EPO --------------------up to ovulation
Raspberry leaf capsules-------------------- up to ovulation
Angus Cactus------------ up to ovulation
Flaxseed oil-------------after ovulation
Green tea--------------at least 1 cup
Rasberry leaf tea
Wheatgerm oil
2 pillows under bum after TTC.
The other stuff I didn't take and I dont know whats safe or not, even from what I took, so I cant recommend anything, but you make your own minds up

"Here is the stuff I'm taking. I take a teaspoon in the AM and PM and wash it down with water. Both are mixed together in honey (no foul taste at all...it's just really sweet, thick/cloudy honey...I got a jar that tasted funny once and took it back...I think it was rancid).

 Chaste Berry (Vitex agnus castus)
Vitex is probably the most well known and widely studied fertility herb. It works
by stimulating the hormones involved in ovulation and restoring female hormonal
balance. Vitex helps to correct luteal phase defects and helps to lower high
prolactin levels, both of which cause fertility problems. It acts on the pituitary
gland, specifically on the production of LH (leutenizing hormone). The result is
that it increases the production of progesterone, which helps to regulate the
menstrual cycle. Vitex is not a fast acting herb and may need several months to
build up in your system.
Take during the first half of your cycle and stop when you‘ve ovulated
 Red Raspberry Leaf
It has the reputation of helping to relax the uterus. It is also recommended to help
the fertilized egg attach to the uterine lining and stay attached. It is a
phytoprogesterone, which is a plant that acts like progesterone, therefore it can be
used to increase progesterone levels in the body
It is best to take it as an infusion (one ounce of dried raspberry leaves brewed
overnight in a quart of boiling water). Strain the leaves, and drink hot or cold,
with honey if you prefer. You can refrigerate leftovers.
Can take throughout your cycle
 Red Clover
It contains estrogen like compounds which promote estrogen production which can boost estrogen levels in women with estrogen deficiencies. Red Clover also contains calcium and magnesium which can relax the nervous system and improve fertility. Like red
raspberry, it is often recommended to drink the infusion during pregnancy.
To make an infusion put one ounce of dried blossoms in a quart jar filled with
boiling water, and steep overnight.
Can take throughout your cycle; best taken in combination with red raspberry.
 False unicorn root
Like red clover, it can help balance hormone levels by making up for a shortage
of estrogen or encouraging your body to excrete excess amounts. It has a
normalizing effect on the ovaries and strengthens the lining of the womb.
Take during the first half of your cycle, and stop when you‘ve ovulated
 Dong Quai
It is an ancient Asian herb which is known as the female hormone regulator. It
acts like an estrogen ―modulator‖ which activates or suppresses estrogen receptors
within the pituitary to even out the hormones that bring on ovulation. It has also
been attributed with helping to build a receptive uterine lining.
Evening Primrose
This can dramatically improve the production of more sperm friendly cervical
fluid, also known as ―egg white cervical mucus.‖ It may take a month or two to
build up.
Take during the first half of your cycle and stop once you‘ve ovulated. EPO is a
prostaglandin and can cause the uterus to contract and the cervix to dilate.
Therefore, once you ovulate you should replace it with Flax Seed Oil which also
contains essential fatty acids without the prostaglandins.
 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’S)
Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids (EFA‘s) that are essential for
maintaining good reproductive health. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot
manufacture these EFA‘s, so they must be obtained from outside sources -- from
the food we eat or the supplements we take.
EFA‘s are very important to take when trying to conceive as they act as hormone
regulators. Both Omega-3 and Omega-6 are also important in the development of
sperm. It‘s important to have a balance of these EFA‘s however most people
have much more Omega-6‘s in their diet than Omega-3‘s because Omega-6‘s are
found in eggs, meat, whole grains, cereals, polyunsaturated oils from vegetables
and nuts, and most packaged foods and baked goods. Most often, western diets do
not require supplementation of Omega-6 because they tend to be very high in
Omega-6‘s.
 Paba
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) stimulates the pituitary gland and sometimes
restores fertility to some women who cannot conceive. Food sources include
molasses, mushrooms, spinach and whole grains.
 Green Tea
It is a powerful antioxidant that enhances your reproductive health by reversing
the effects of the environment on your body, such as aging, environmental toxins,
stress, lack of sleep and eating too many processed foods. It can assist your body
in the production of healthier eggs.
Dosage: Just 1 cup or more a day doubles your odds of conception every cycle,
according to a study in the American Journal of Public health.
 Dandelion Root Tea (sometimes called Dandelion Coffee)
This is a great substitute for coffee (tastes very similar), without the caffeine. It
has the added benefit of supporting liver detoxification which is very helpful for
reproductive health.
 Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ is high in zinc, and vitamin E and is a great source of Omega 3 fatty
acids. It may help to dilate both the fallopian tubes and the seminiferous tubules,
making the transport of both egg and sperm easier. It also can improve sperm
quality and quantity.
Dosage: 1/2 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon oil daily
Panax Ginseng (Asian Ginseng)
An effective herbal remedy for male infertility, Panax Ginseng is said to increase
sperm count, motility and testosterone levels.

Green tea and orange pekoe tea
Flaxseeds are the richest plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids and are easy to find in health food stores. Buy the seeds, grind them in a coffee grinder, and sprinkle them on cereal or toast or add them to a smoothie. If you're in a rush, buy a bottle of flaxseed oil and drizzle 1 tablespoon a day over salad, popcorn, or a baked potato. (Just don't cook with flaxseed oil; the heat destroys its beneficial nutrients.)
Vitex agnus-castus, also called Vitex, Chaste Tree, Chasteberry, or Monk's Pepper, is a native of the Mediterranean region.

...I sure can use it! Do you know where I can also get some sanity dust? I could use that too!
Its a catch 22 I want to be pg but I want to enjoy my trip too, the last couple of weeks I have felt so crappy. 
It's hard sometimes sharing my excitement with you gals because I don't want to be wrong and then you get heartbreak but I'm SO extatic with the news in the room it's hard to hold back! 
Congratulations on your pregnancy - how wonderful for you that it happened so quickly. Thanks for the well wishes - I'm sure we all appreciate the good baby mojo! I think most of us in here are under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist, though, and taking extra herbals/supplements could interfere with our prescribed treatments and medications. Thanks so much for thinking of us, though! 
. I guess I'm shocked because she is going to be a grandma. I said that if they decide to not keep the baby I'd love to adopt. She is not happy about the pregnancy and already suggested I adopt the baby because she knows we've been TTC and she doesn't want this to ruin her son's life. I guess his GF thinks its cute to be pg eventhough she doesn't have a driver's license or a job and she wants to keep the baby since some of her friends are pg too. I just don't get why things happen like they do. I think its time for some 
Ugh, wants to keep the baby because some of her friends are pg, omg, yea that will change when she realizes the baby actually needs attention!! Hang in there honey, remember each bfp brings your little one closer to you!!
