1. Segulos for getting pregnant and having children:[1]

Consulting with a physician and receiving medical treatment:[2] In addition to all of the below Segulos, a couple who is having difficulty in  getting pregnant and having children should seek expert medical advice in this field [i.e. reproductive endocrinologists, otherwise known as fertility doctors, who specialize in infertility].

The Segulos: There are several Segulos recorded in Chazal and Sefarim for the bearing of children. The following are some of the Segulos that are recorded:

1. Praying to G-d:[3] One who is having difficulty getting pregnant and having children is to pray to G-d and beseech Him to grant one a child.
2. Trust in G-d:[4] Having faith and trust in G-d that one will merit to have a child is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children. Even one who asked his Rebbe, or Tzaddik for a blessing and received a positive blessing for children, must not forget G-d who is the source of all blessing and is the one who actually gives the child. Trusting only in a man of flesh and blood, including even a Tzaddik, can G-d forbid lead to a miscarriage of the fetus with which the Tzaddik blessed the couple.[5]
3. Psalm of Mizmor Ledavid Hashem Roiy:[6] Saying the Psalm of Mizmor Ledavid Hashem Roiy [Tehillim 23] prior to marital relations is a Segula for having children.
4. Do the will of G-d and the will of one’s wife:[7] One who desires children is to do the will of G-d and the will of his wife. He is to do the will of G-d by dispersing charity and do the will of his wife by rejoicing with her during intimacy.
5. Add in Torah and Mitzvos:[8] Adding in the fulfillment of Torah and Mitzvos is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
6. Taharas Hamishpacha:[9]  Being careful to guard all the detailed laws of Taharas Hamishpacha is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children, as at times the blessing of G-d for having children is obstructed due to lack of observance of Taharas Hamishpacha. This includes being well learned in all the laws of Nida, Hefsek Taharah, Tevila in a Kosher mikvah, and probably observing these detailed laws. If necessary, one should speak with a Rav for the details of these subjects. One should be careful in these matters not just prior to becoming pregnant but always, even after birth.[10] If the husband or wife expresses strong regret about the keeping of the laws of family purity after she already became pregnant, this can G-d forbid cause a miscarriage. Accordingly, one is not to express regret of this matter.[11]
7. Covering the hair:[12] Having the wife be careful to properly cover her hair, is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
8. Tzenius:[13] Being extra careful in the laws of Tzenius is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
9. Checking the Tefillin and Mezuzos:[14] Checking the Tefillin and Mezuzos to verify that they are 100% Kosher is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
10. Charity:[15] Distributing charity is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children. Charity should be distributed by the wife prior to prayer on every Monday and Thursday, and prior to candle lighting on every Erev Shabbos and Erev Yom Tov. It should be distributed to an institution in the field of Torah education. 
11. Studying and spreading Chassidus:[16] Learning Toras Hachassidus and spreading its teachings is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children. One should not pass three days without learning Chassidus.
12. Spreading Judaism:[17] Spreading Judaism and strengthening its observance is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
13. Working in Torah education: Working in the field of Torah education is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
14. Teaching Torah to others:[18] Teaching Torah to other people is a great Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
15. Being involved in love of a fellow Jew:[19] Being involved in activities that express love for a fellow Jew is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
16. Hachanasas Orchim:[20] Fulfilling the Mitzvah of Hachanasas Orchim by feeding guests and the poor, is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
17. Becoming expert in a Misechta of Shas:[21] If one is not a Kohen and is married to the daughter of a Kohen then it is proper for him to become an expert in at least one tractate of Shas. It suffices to be well versed even in a small Misechta, such as Miseches Kallah. Doing so is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
18. To move to Israel:[22] Making Aliyah to the land of Israel is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
19. Not to express regret of the pregnancy:[23] If the husband or wife expresses strong regret about the pregnancy after she already became pregnant, this can G-d forbid cause a miscarriage. Accordingly, one is not to express regret of the pregnancy.
20. Avoiding making an oath and swear:[24] One who is having difficulty having children should especially be careful not to take an oath or swear even about a truthful matter. Certainly, they should not swear by the life of someone.
21. Make a Shidduch:[25] Being involved in the making of a Shidduch for a couple is a Segula for getting pregnant and having children.
22. Forgiveness from past Shidduch:[26] A couple who is having difficulty in getting pregnant and having children should contemplate if during Shidduchim the husband or wife offended someone in a way that requires them to ask for their forgiveness, and if so then they should ask for their forgiveness whether in front of them or not in front of them.
23. Segula to prevent miscarriage-Not publicizing the pregnancy:[27] A woman who has a history of miscarriage should be especially careful not to publicize her pregnancy until the fifth month with exception to close relatives.
24. Segula to prevent miscarriage-Avoid heavy items and overexertion:[28] Certainly, a woman who has a history of miscarriages should avoid lifting heavy items, and overexerting herself with extra strenuous activity.

The reason for its allowance: As some Poskim rule that there is no prohibition against eating human flesh. [Setimas Michaber and Tur; Raavad Machalos Assuros 2:3; Ran Kesubos 24b; Ramban Vayikra 11:3 and Chidushim Kesubos 60b; Rashba Teshuvah 1:364, 3:257 and Chidushim Kesubos 60b; Implication of Tosafus Kesubos 60a; Rosh Kesubos 5:19, although is Rabbinically forbidden to cut off body and eat in his opinion; See Taz Y.D. 79:3 in opinion of Rosh; Peri Chadash 79:6 in opinion of Michaber and Tur who omitted the prohibition, and so is his conclusion Lehalacha; See Rashbash ibid] See Machaneh Yisrael 84

Yosef] 2:8 footnote 15; 60:15; Otzer Habris Shaar 3 chapter 3:13; Sefer Rafael Hamalach; Or Torah Vol. 398:38

The reason: As a) One is required to bury the Arla in earth.
