This article will go over the four best supplements that you can take when you are trying to conceive that will improve your chances of falling pregnant. Each one of them has a specific function that helps improve your fertility.

Vitex (Agnus Castus / Chasteberry)

Vitex can help balance your hormones, which is why its particularly beneficial for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or women who have a luteal phase defect (the time between ovulation and menstruation which is mean to be 11 days or longer).

Because Vitex often takes a few months to be fully effective at balancing your hormones you should continue taking it until you have a confirmed pregnancy.

Vitamin B6

Many women swear by Vitamin B6 in increasing their fertility. Another vitamin that is safe to take throughout your entire cycle, Vitamin B6 helps to balance hormones, increase progesterone and improve cervical fluid.

Many women are deficient in B6 without knowing it and that can cause an excess of estrogen in the body making it difficult to conceive.

It is recommended that you start with around 50mg a day for the first month and see if you notice any changes in your body or cycle.

Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis Root)

Dong Quai is another beneficial supplement that can help improve your fertility. It works by improving your circulation in the reproductive system. Because of it’s ability to thin out the blood, it shouldn’t be taken during menstruation, but it can be taken throughout the rest of your cycle.

Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is another great supplement as it contains essential fatty acids that will improve your cervical fluid. The more cervical fluid that you produce, the more fertile you will become. It is recommended that you only take it in the first half of your cycle if you are trying to conceive because it has been known to cause uterine contractions in some women.
