Hi Tina,
the vitamins my DH takes contain l'arginine and are called Fertility Plus for Men, I have not heard of it for women. I found this explanation on the site I got the vitamins from - marilynglenville.com -
This is an amino acid found in many foods and the head of the sperm contains an exceptional amount of this nutrient, which is essential for sperm production. Supplementing with L-arginine can help to increase both the sperm count and quality.

I have not heard of taking Royal Jelly for infertility, I think it is a more general supplement but I am sure you will be able to find some info on the internet

Hope this helps

Kat xx
