We all hear about ways men can increase their sperm count, but does anyone know of natural at-home ways to raise female fertility? I’ve heard that some use herbal remedies, others certain "positions"- any tips?

P.S. I take a multi vitamin, don’t drink or smoke, and have moderate exercise everyday!

Be sure to start by taking pre-natal vitamins while you are trying to conceive and stay on them during your pregnancy. This will give you the added folic acid that may not be in your regular multi-vitamin.
Here are some fertility foods for women:
Tea – Green tea and orange pekoe tea are both excellent fertility enhancers. Tea contains a high level of antioxidants which aid in healthy immune systems. Research has shown that women who regularly drink tea increase their chance of conception.
Foods rich in vitamin C – Fruits, especially citrus, help enhance fertility, especially in men. Vitamin C plays a role in boosting the immune system, and thus helps to aid in a healthy conception.
Foods high in calcium – Calcium contributes to strong bones, and is especially important for pregnant women to consume.
Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid – Leafy green vegetables, nuts and whole grains contain high levels of these nutrients. Vitamin B6 is a reproductive hormone regulator and folic acid helps to prevent certain neuro-tube defects in the fetus.
Water – probably the most important thing to consume. Get in the good habit of drinking at least eight cups of water a day.
Hope this helps!
