    Unfortunately there are no foods that will increase fertility, there are foods that are aphrodesiacs (they get you in the mood), but they do not increase fertility. Also, 1 month is hardly considered trying by some because it is not at all uncommon for it to take a full year or more of trying for some women to get pregnant.

    But I will let you in on a little secret. ;)

    Having sex every day is not good when you are trying to get pregnant. The reason is that it takes a man a while to rebuild the sperm count. If you are making love daily you are depleting his sperm count and his body is not given a chance to build it back up.

    Another little trick, okay? :cool:

    You need to know when you ovulate. If you run a typical 28 day cycle you ovulate anywhere around 12 - 14 days after the first day of your period. This would be the most fertile time. However, what many do not understand is that the egg is only viable for 18 - 24 hours after ovulation. Amazing we get pregnant at all isn't it :eek:? However, the sprem can live in our bodies for up to 3 days. So you can try around that time, but remember not every night.
