Green tea is NOT recommended when trying to conceive as it interferes with the absorption of folic acid. One or two cups is probably fine, but nobody really know. Definitely no EGCG extracts.
Red Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to nourish the uterus, but it is linked with causing uterine contractions later in pregnancy (women says this helps prepare the uterus for birth). However it has been suggested, though never proven, that it may be linked to miscarriages in the early weeks.

I don't know about black tea, but I do know there are herbal teas that can help w/ fertility issues and green tea has been used to boost cervical fluid.
I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
If your charts identify any fertility issues, you can try various natural rememdies. Green tea, as I said before, can be used to boost a lack of or poor quality cervical fluid. I used it when trying to conceive my son and it helped my cervical fluid immensely. I also used B-vitamins to extend my luteal phase and normalize my cycle.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

There are a few beliefs that a certain Chinese herb when brewed can aid in the conception. However, the jury is still out on that.
