Likely not much: Maca root and other herbals have lots of testimonials as to their effects on many things including ability to conceive. No studies exist that suggest maca can help. Better to eat healthy, exercise, sleep well, minimize stress, nurture your relationship with your partner, and consider having sex during ovulation. Caution with meds, alcohol, drugs...And otc "miracle drugs"!

Adaptogen: Maca is an adaptogenic herb so will help deal with stress and in some increase energy. It will augment hormones, in particular Progesterone in some women, which may help you conceive but you need to be careful with dosing as it can also increase testosterone leading to skin breakouts. Start low and go slow. It is advisable to measure hormones if you can't conceive after 6 months or so.
