Women's Fertility & PCOS – Natural Support for Getting Pregnant
Women’s Fertility & PCOS: Natural Support for Getting Pregnant
Trying to conceive can be one of the most emotional journeys a person goes through. Whether you’ve just started or have been trying for months, natural herbal support can play a meaningful role alongside medical care. This guide covers the most important fertility factors, what herbs and supplements actually help, and which products from Secrets of Tea are designed for each stage of your TTC journey.
What Affects Female Fertility?
- Ovulation regularity – Irregular or absent ovulation is the #1 cause of female infertility
- Hormonal balance – Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH affect cycle regularity and egg quality
- Insulin resistance (PCOS) – High insulin levels disrupt ovulation in 70% of women with PCOS
- Uterine health – Thin uterine lining, fibroids, or inflammation reduce implantation success
- Egg quality – Declines with age and oxidative stress; antioxidant-rich herbs help protect eggs
- Stress – Cortisol directly suppresses reproductive hormones
What Is PCOS and How Does It Affect Fertility?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. The key issue: insulin resistance causes the ovaries to produce excess androgens (male hormones), which disrupt follicle development and prevent normal ovulation.
The result: irregular periods, absent periods, small cysts on ovaries, and difficulty conceiving. The good news: PCOS-related infertility is highly treatable — especially with targeted inositol supplementation.
The Most Important Supplement for PCOS: Inositol
Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol are the most clinically studied natural interventions for PCOS. Research shows:
- Improves insulin sensitivity, directly reducing androgen production
- Restores spontaneous ovulation in women with PCOS
- Improves egg quality and fertilization rates in IVF cycles
- Reduces testosterone levels and improves menstrual regularity
- The ideal ratio is 40:1 Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro Inositol — the ratio naturally found in healthy ovarian follicles

Contains 2,000mg Myo-Inositol + 50mg D-Chiro Inositol (the exact 40:1 ratio) + Folate. The most complete inositol supplement for women with PCOS trying to conceive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does fertility tea take to work?
Herbal fertility teas work at the hormonal level, which operates on 2–3 month cycles. Most women notice improved cycle regularity within 1–2 cycles and optimal results at 3 months of consistent use. Pair with Ovulat if you have PCOS for faster results.
Can I take fertility tea while on Clomid?
Check with your reproductive endocrinologist. Some herbal compounds can interact with fertility medications. In general, herbal teas are best taken during natural TTC cycles or during the months leading up to medical treatment.
What if I don’t know if I have PCOS?
If you have irregular periods (cycles over 35 days or fewer than 8 per year), adult acne, excess facial hair, or unexplained weight gain, ask your OB/GYN for a PCOS workup. Ovulat is beneficial even for women with suspected PCOS who haven’t been formally diagnosed.
Is there a fertility tea for men too?
Yes. Male Fertility Tea by Secrets of Tea ($16.88) contains maca, ashwagandha, and horny goat weed — herbs with evidence for supporting sperm count and motility.
