I just wanted to let you all know about Royal Jelly if you haven't heard of it. We tried it this month - it was organic, pre-mixed in honey, and my DP took a spoonful a day until the insemination. We got it at a vitamin and supplement store and it was surprising inexpensive ($14.95 a jar = about a 2 month supply).
Now, granted, my DP is a lot younger than I am and all of her bloodwork came back excellent, so she prob would have gotten pregnant on her own very quickly anyway, but a little piece of me thinks this stuff *might* have helped. I could be entirely batty, I know, but I wanted to share it here, just in case I am not totally nuts! It is supposed to balance hormones and improve egg quantity and quality (it is the food they feed the bees who will become queens - i.e. lay around and do nothing but produce eggs). Like most natural products there is little-to-no hard evidence that it "works," but there is a ton of anecdotal evidence for it on the web - if you google "royal jelly and fertility" you can find some.
Here are some links:

Be careful: you cannot take this if you are allergic to bees/bee products!
