Down through the ages, advice and tips have been given to women on what foods will help them get pregnant. This has caused many hopeful mothers-to-be rushing off to eat whatever has been advised. Actually, women fall pregnant everyday without a thought to what they are eating. But many do swear by some foods they call fertility boosters.

Oysters are famously known for their aphrodisiac qualities, but what isn't well known is their ability to boost fertility. It is packed full of zinc, an important nutrient in conception. Without enough zinc in the body, the menstrual cycle disrupts and the production of quality eggs slows. Even if you are not into oysters, you can find zinc in beef, chicken, eggs, nuts, and dairy.

Citrus fruits contain Vitamin C, which is vital in increasing chances of conception. Women who take fertility medication get a boost from vitamin C and it helps improve fertility in women who have ovulation problems. For men that lack this vitamin, their sperm may clump together which decreases the chances of conception. The antioxidants in vitamin C are essential if you want to fall pregnant, especially if you are a smoker.

Yams may be a favorite at Thanksgiving for some, but they are a favorite among researchers for fertility boosts. They believe that they may contain an ovulation-stimulating substance and as evidence to that, they offer the fact that those who eat wild yams have a higher rate of twins. Although, yams bought in the store are not wild, they are still stuffed with fertility-friendly vitamins and it could not hurt to eat them when trying to conceive.

Lean meats such as beef, chicken, and turkey are all great providers of a very important fertility-boosting nutrient: iron. It has been found that women with an iron deficiency have a harder time falling pregnant than those who do not. The trick here is not to overeat protein, as that may decrease fertility. Try for three servings a week and replace one animal protein with beans or tofu at times.

Berries not only taste good, they are packed with antioxidants that protect the body from cell damage and cell aging. And, that includes your eggs. Raspberries and blueberries are the best in berries, but strawberries and blackberries are good for your fertility too. Just grab a handful as a snack, make a pie, or top pancakes and waffles with them in the morning to get your fill.

Of course, while you focus on the good foods, you cannot forget the bads. On the top of the list is trans fat. Women who have a diet high in trans fat have a greater chance of ovulatory infertility than those who do not. Another big culprit is caffeine. Whether it is in coffee, strong tea, or even chocolate, caffeine has been linked to low fertility.

Choosing fertility-boosting foods when you want to get pregnant is a win-win situation. Not only are you eating food that is good for you, you are increasing your chances to conceive. And, since you will need to eat healthy anyway once you do fall pregnant, it only makes sense to eat fertility friendly foods prepregnancy to get a head start.
