Back in our parents' day the issue was more how NOT to get pregnant so often. Now there is an increase in infertility -
How To get pregnant. The cause of infertility is unknown, however, there are some physical issues that may be attributed to infertility. These physical issues can be:
Stress and anxiety can also be a cause of not being able to get pregnant. Our lives nowadays are filled to the brim with activity, responsibility, and worry. Not to mention environmental stressors such as toxins. Imbalances in hormones may be the result of these stressors. These imbalances will affect the responsiveness to fertility. Fertility herbs are most helpful when the problem is related to the hormonal imbalances. Many of these herbs also bring about an overall state of health which promotes fertility. Many chemicals found in non-organic food and in plastics mimic estrogen in the body. Our bodies actually read it as estrogen thus creating too high of an estrogen level. If these estrogen levels are too high in men it causes lower sperm count and testosterone. In women it disrupts our hormonal balance creating all sorts of health issues. Soy contains isoflavones which are another source of estrogen like chemicals. Soy in moderation is fine, but nowadays people consume far too much soy. Read package labels, you'll often find soy in the list of ingredients! Ways that you can increase the chances of fertility are:

Men also need to look at herbs for fertility. In Bible times a barren womb was considered a female curse but male infertility is a real health concern as well. Men can look to Siberian ginseng and Korean ginseng. Both are considered male tonics. The Korean ginseng is believed to promote sperm formation and testosterone levels. Siberian ginseng has been shown to increase sperm counts. For female infertility issues dong quai is highly regarded. Red clover flowers and red raspberry leaf are also effective in nourishing the uterus, and providing plenty of minerals. Red clover helps to restore hormonal balance. Folk herbalist Susan Weed suggests drinking a strong brew of these two combined herbs on a daily basis. Both men and women could benefit from these herbs. Chasteberry or Vitex is helpful to normalize progesterone levels. This herb also stimulates the ovaries to ovulate. Stinging nettle is a uterine tonic and greatly nourishes the entire body. It is a wonderful tonic for the hormonal system. False Unicorn root is another known fertility herb. It is regarded as a powerful uterine tonic. Vitamin E and selenium is promoted to increase the fertility in men and women. Zinc taken by men will improve sperm motility, quality and count. Vitamin C is important for men and women's infertility issues. Iron levels are low in many women. Check to make sure iron levels are where they should be and supplement if necessary. PABA is shown in studies to help women with infertility issues. It appears to improve the estrogen effects. Infertility is emotionally draining for couples. It is a heart breaking and stressful time. Whenever considering herbal remedies for chronic issues of fertility, please factor in time. A person doesn't usually see results with herbs and supplements for any chronic issue for a good 3 months.
