Yes, that is ok.: Do things in moderation and take prenatal vitamins since you desire to conceive.

Decrease carbs: Carbohydrates, may be decreasing the number of ovulations, longer cycles. decrease, bread, pasta, rice potatoes and sugar. increase moderate levels of exercise. If excessive levels of exercise this can impede ovulations. talk to your doctor about further testing and treatments.
