HI
I found this and thought it was quite interesting:
https://www.examiner.com/article/the-food-fertility-connection-chinese-medicine
It talks about what you should be eating and when to optimise your chance of conceiving by giving your body what it needs when and ensuring it is in optimal condition.
Im currently in the two week wait so I should be eating yang foods, this is what it says:
'Yang-Foods
Yang foods are nutrient and calorie rich foods that provide our body with energy. During the menstrual cycle the luteal phase, which is after ovulation, is considered to be the yang phase. If someone is yang deficient they typically lack sexual desire, have lower sperm count, impotence, etc. Two food groups that are good at increasing energy are proteins, carbohydrates and foods warmer in nature. One must be careful to not over eat warming foods to the point of sweating which actually decreases yang. Other foods that impede the yang are icy cold food and beverages, and raw cold foods.'
Don't know how much is in it but I though it was very interesting and no harm in trying, its basically healthy eating but describes what your body needs at different times of the months.
Bit more details on the foods here:

I'm to late to use it properly this cycle but no harm in starting now and see how I go.
