I've been drinking raspberry/red clover tea for about a week. A friend of mine told me about it. I can't attest to whether it works or not because we just started trying yesterday, but it's worth a shot. Good luck!

Here's the info she sent me.

Raspberry tea:

This is, essentially, the quintessential pregnancy herb. I have read that some people say it is not safe, but honestly, people have been using it as a pregnancy tonic herb for thousands of years. I certainly used it during both of my pregnancies, and not only were both of my babies born normal and exceedingly healthy, I had super easy pregnancies with very little to complain about (no morning sickness for either) . I would make a pot of this tea and drink it throughout the day (about 4c/day).

That said, here is what Susun S. Weed has to say about it in Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year:

Brewed as a tea or as an infusion (medicinal tea), Rubus is the best known, most widely used, and safest of all uterine/pregnancy tonic herbs. It contains fragrine, an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself. Most of the benefits ascribed to regular use of Raspberry leaf tea throughout pregnancy can be traced to the strengthening power of fragrine or to the nourishing power of the vitamins and minerals found in this plant. Of special note are the rich concentrations of vitamin C, the presence of vitamin E, and the easily assimilated calcium and iron. Raspberry leaves also contain vitamins A and B complex and many minerals, including phosphorus and potassium.

Benefits of drinking a Raspberry leaf brew before and throughout pregnancy (remember that a tonic needs to be used regularly to be most effective) include:

Increased fertility in both men and women
Raspberry leaf is an excellent fertility herb when combined with Red Clover.

Preventing miscarriage and hemorrhage
Raspberry leaf tones the uterus and helps prevent miscarriage and postpartum hemorrhage from a relaxed or atonic uterus.
(I never had any bleeding problems with either pregnancy. Granted many people don't but I figure it can't help to point out that at the very least it certainly didn't cause any problems.) :)

Easing of morning sickness
Many women attest to Raspberry leaves' gentle relief of nausea and stomach distress throughout pregnancy.

Reducing pain during labour and after birth
By toning the muscles used during labour and delivery, Raspberry leaf works to encourage the uterus to let go and function without tension. It does not strengthen contractions but does allow the contracting uterus to work more effectively and so may make the birth easier and faster.

Assisting in production of plentiful breast milk
The high mineral content of Raspberry leaf assists in milk production, but its astringency may counter that for some women.

I went to Mymonthlycycles.com and tracked when my ovulation days are. It also gives you the days you are most fertile on. So my fiance and I held off on sex until those days and lo and behold I became pregnant. Also it may help to have sex missionary style with a pillow under your hips. Then once he ejaculates, lift your knees up to your chest and hold them there for a couple of minutes. That is exactly what I did and it worked out for me.

Make sure you're taking vitamins with folic acid. There are vitamins specifically for women trying to get pregnant.
