If I were trying to conceive, I would take the following steps:
1. CLEANSE
Order Fertility Cleanse from Natural Fertility and perform this cleanse starting on the 4th day of my next cycle (I do NOT try to conceive during this cycle--trying to fertilize an egg after toxins have passed during this entire cycle optimize the egg's condition). I love how I feel from this and sensing built-up toxins/excess hormones/stressors leaving me. (Consider the Male Fertility Cleanse as well). (A cleanse is to support an overloaded liver in eliminating toxins; I like Dr. Maren's explanation of the problem of and solution to environmental toxins). I also wouldn't worry one second about "losing" a month in trying to conceive--this is well worth the 30-days and makes up for lost time through increasing prospects of pregnancy and the baby's long-term health in my opinion. That said, if my past year hasn't been stressful, and I've lived and eaten cleanly (avoided toxins and had mostly organic food), then I would be open to skipping this step.
2. NOURISH
Nourish egg health (starting the month after the Fertility Cleanse) via some daily supplements:
[1] choline/inositol supplement (for fetal brain/spinal chord/memory function),
[2] magnesium (to reduce stress levels on myself and eggs; it seems to help with metabolism and thyroid function),
[3] CoQ10 Ubiquinol--I get this from Trader Joe's for $19.99 (to combat oxidative stress on eggs),
[4] Omega 3 supplement--I just get it from Trader Joe's for $9.99 (to improve egg quality),
[5] Vitamin D--from Trader Joe's for like $6 bucks (I tend to be low in this; it's useful for optimal pregnancy outcomes and bone health)
[6] Probiotic--The $10 version from Trader Joe's is good enough for me, but any version with Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacillus would probably work (to combat bad bacteria and create good strains in reproductive regions, though some research suggests gut health is better in people who do not take probiotics--I'd be open either option being right for me.)
[7] Consider using Resveratrol occasionally--I haven't ever used this but recently learned about its antioxidative and anti-aging effects on eggs. It's also found in grapes--that may be a better way to tap into this resource.
[8] Always take a prenatal vitamin. Rainbow Light has been a convenient choice for me.
3. BALANCE
If my cycles are not predictable or I feel out of balance, I consider strategic supplementation with herbs (also after the fertility cleanse). Balancing my cycles improves my chances of conceiving while improving my mental clarity and energy levels. A convenient way to balance is through the Fertilicare program. If I don't conceive during the cycle with Fertilicare, I consider it a recalibrating cycle, and then keep many of the herbs in Fertilicare out of the subsequent cycle, because some of its herbs may help with uterine contractions for menstruation--what I don't want when trying to conceive (but very useful for getting cycles/hormones back on track). So, below are herbs I would feel okay to use in cycles where I'm trying to conceive (after using all the herbs in Fertilicare to reboot my cycles/hormonal balance if needed).
Follicular phase (days 5-14):
Vitex (helps regulate estrogen and stimulate ovulation),
Dong Quai (angelica sinensis is antioxidative and anti-inflammatory for female reproductive system) [I take just one capsule though bottles suggest a serving is two]
Rhemania (supports FSH and release of a healthy egg),
Luteal phase (day 15-28 [or up until menstruation/positive pregnancy test])
Vitex (helps moderate length of luteal phase to improve chances of sustaining zygote)
Maca (for helping with hormonal levels and antioxidative effects)
This scripture inspires my strategic use of herbs: "and the herb, . . . all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man; . . . yea for food and raiment, . . . to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. (Doctrine & Covenants 59:17-20).
To that end, when pregnancy is achieved, use of these herbs should stop.
4. EAT
I'd eat intentionally with the goal of preparing a nourishing environment to grow a baby. This study outlines the need for lots of fruits and vegetables, high quality grains, fats, and protein and minimization of sugar and simple carbs. The Neurological Health Foundation also outlines optimal eating for pre-conception and pregnancy based on research studying pregnancy outcomes.
The goal behind all these things is to prepare my body as an environment where a baby could grow--a low-stressed, relaxed, and healthy home. Though some of this may seem overwhelming, for me they ultimately reduce stressors on my body. I also love proactively creating the baby's first environment/home on earth. These are some ways I feel empowered to influence the creation of new life.
