Healthy eating means eating a balanced diet and avoiding foods high in fat and sugar, such as cakes and biscuits. The Food Standards Agency (FSA undated: a) recommends eating a variety of foods while trying to conceive, including:
• Fruit and vegetables – these can be fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or a glass of juice. Aim for at least five portions a day.
• Carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes.
• Protein such as lean meat and chicken, fish, eggs and pulses (beans and lentils).
• Fish, at least twice a week, including some oily fish, but don’t have more than two portions of oily fish a week. This includes fresh tuna (not canned tuna, which does not count as oily fish), mackerel, sardines and trout.
• Dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, which contain calcium.
• Iron rich foods, such as red meat, pulses, dried fruit, bread, green vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals, to build up your resources of iron in preparation for pregnancy.
It helps your body to absorb iron if you have some food or drink containing vitamin C, such as fruit or vegetables, or a glass of fruit juice with any iron-rich meals.
Take a vitamin supplement

Are There Any Specific Foods I Can Eat To Increase Fertility?

Be sure to start by taking pre-natal vitamins while you are trying to conceive and stay on them during your pregnancy.
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.
**************************************…
Conceive Magazine ran an article on “Fertility Foods for Guys”- maybe it will help (and it definitely won’t hurt).
1) Brightly colored fruits and veggies – rich in antioxidants
2) Oranges & citrus fruits – Vitamin C reduces risk of damaged sperm
3) Watermelon – good source of lycopene
4) Pumpkin seeds and baked beans – rich in zinc
5) Lean meat and poultry – rich in L-carnitine for sperm movement / motility
They also said to avoid soy which may lead to poor sperm quality and alcohol which can lower testosterone.
Caffeine can go either way – three or more drinks a day may hamper fertility but other studes show that caffeine “may” help with a low sperm count
Good luck!

been off the pill for about 8 months with no luck. think it might be a case of trying too hard and getting upset when it doesn’t happen. although i’ve been with my partner nearly 4 years i’m only 22 and don’t want to go for fertility checks just yet as i think they will turn me away being so young.
